About this title

Synopsis

Whether you are a quiltmaker or a quilt owner, this book will help you decide how to take care of your quilts. "Longevity has two factors, nature and nurture. For people, this translates into genetics and lifestyle. "The same can be said for quilts. ‘Genetic’ factors that promote long quilt life are good quality materials and good construction techniques. "A healthy lifestyle for quilts means owners follow good care and use practices and avoid accidents. "...But on the other hand, perhaps our quilts have been made to swaddle a baby, comfort the bereaved, warm our loved ones. If they have been loved to pieces, what more could we ask for?" Learn how to use, display and clean a quilt safely, and also how to make a strong quilt and how to safely store it or ship it. To help your quilt live 100 years, you must convince future generations it is valuable. You can do that by providing documentation and getting an appraisal and insurance coverage. Learn when to turn to the experts for caring for art quilts and fragile antique quilts. Chapter headings include: Make, Test, Use, Display, Air, Wash, Dry, Store, Appraise, Insure, Ship, Sign, followed by a list of resources and an extensive index. Author Barb Gorges has been making quilts since 1979, including ribbon winners at local, state and national levels. She taught quilt making at her local Wyoming community college for more than a dozen years and elsewhere in the state as well as in Montana, Colorado and Nebraska. She designed Gorges Quilt Care Labels and sold them between 1998 and 2016 in all 50 states and overseas.
