Quilt Appraisals
Lynne Wilder, certified quilt appraiser, will be available on Friday (Noon-4:00 pm) and Saturday (10:00 am-Noon and 1:00-3:00 pm) for appraisals. You may schedule a time with Mrs. Wilder at the show or ahead of time by contacting Debbie Dawson eastrvr@gmail.com
Written appraisals for antique, vintage or new quilts are $65.00 each. Oral appraisals for antique or vintage quilts only are $30.00 each. Cash or Check paid to Mrs. Wilder at the show. Appointments are approximately 30 minutes per quilt. Appraisals establish a replacement value for insurance purposes, establish a value for donation as required by IRS, determine Fair Market Value for sales, create a written record of a family heirloom and can accompany a quilt to be given as a gift.
