Interested in having your quilt appraised at the 2007 Convention? This year, we are fortunate to have Mary Kerr for on-site quilt appraisals. Mary is a lifelong quilter who has been teaching since 1987. She is an AQS Certified Appraiser and a member of PAAQT. For many years, Mary has focused on restoration and repair and now works almost exclusively with vintage textiles. She is available to appraise both vintage and contemporary quilts.
Appraisals can be either written (30 minutes) or verbal (10 minutes). The cost for written appraisals is $40 per quilt (payable by cash or check to appraiser when appraisal is performed). An insurance document with a scanned image of the quilt will be sent within two weeks of the physical appraisal. Verbal evaluations can be arranged for a fee of $15 per quilt (also payable to appraiser on-site).
Reservations should be made in advance – walk-ins will be accepted if appraisal times are still available. Complete this form and return to Deb Stanley, 190 Morganville Road, Matawan NJ 07747 to request a reservation. Any questions, call Deb at (732) 591-0257. You will be notified of the time for your appraisal – please plan to arrive about 10 minutes prior to your appraisal time.
Please read the entry rules carefully as SQG of NJ, Inc. reserves the right to disqualify any entry not meeting these criteria.
Hand delivery can be made at one of two convenient drop-off locations and dates. DO NOT drop off entries at these locations at any time other than the specified dates and times.
