Recently I was discussing quilts with someone from my church and suggested to her that she have her greatgrandmothers quilts appraised and insured. I told her that I would find her some appraisers in our area. Thinking this would be really easy to do, I get on line and lo and behold, I can't find any sites that list them. Even here on PR I did a search and couldn't even find a thread on doing this.
Can anybody help me help her and myself too. I really should do the same thing. I have some that are over 50 years old.
TIA,
Nancy

Here is one.

I did a search of quilt appraisers in Texas on the Internet and got several hits.

are there any quilt shows coming up in your area? I went to one locally, and an appraiser had a booth (actually several shared one). I took my quilts back and she looked at them on site while I browsed the displays.

Perhaps the American Quilter's Society can help you out. The Society offers programs to become a certified quilt appraiser. Just google them.

She has a list of appraisers and a few other links to more.

I hope this helps.
