Quilt Dreams
May the 4th be with you! What a wonderful way to look at life, with your head held high, your hands on your hips, your elbows out, and a determined look on your face as you confront all that life throws your way.
Fearless, just like the bronze sculpture “The Fearless Girl” by Kristen Vishal that stands outside the New York Stock Exchange.
I’m feeling Fearless this month. A week ago, at this year’s AQS show in Paducah, I took a three day class on Quilt Appraisals. Going into the class I was sure that I had a lot more to learn, but after three days of examining and documenting a large variety of quilts, I feel ready.
Quilt appraisers are tasked with documenting quilts, old and new, and after taking the time needed to do some careful research of the current market, determine a value for those quilts for insurance, sale, or donation purposes.
So call today, make an appointment, first for a consult $20.00 and if needed an appraisal $50.00. I will examine and document your quilt.
I look forward to seeing all the quilts hiding in your closets and hearing their stories. And I’m sure to be inspired looking at any new quilts. And helping you to get a fair value for insuring or selling your quilt.
I also got some quilting finished this week. Here are photos of me working on a quilt for hospice.
I used one of Amanda Murphy’s rulers to make “Lady Fingers Quilting” in the border…the blocks are filled with my “Dancing Squares” quilting.
