Local resident Jean Oke is trying to unravel a mystery.

Herself a former seamstress and current quilter, the Williams Lake resident is baffled as to why someone would leave a large, expensive quantity of fabric on her Smith Street residence doorstep last Saturday afternoon.

“It’s so bizarre,” said Oke Monday. “I can’t think of any other reason why someone would do that other than they dropped it off at the wrong place.”

An admirer of fabric herself, Oke hopes the rightful owner will hear her story and come forward to claim the fabric.

“I do love fabric. I can’t imagine someone just abandoning it.”

The owner of the fabric can contact Oke directly at 250-392-7488.
