Appraisals
Protect your quilts, old and new, with an appraisal by American Quilter’s Society certified appraiser , Donna Kooistra.
It is essential if you want a fair replacement value from your insurance company for a lost, stolen, or damaged quilt. This is as important for quilts you have just made, as well as your vintage quilts.

As quilters and quilt owners, we know that our quilts are treasures of value. Whether family heirlooms or keepsake gifts, quilt appraisals document and establish the value of your quilt.
Why Have My Quilts Appraised?
There are three basic reasons: For Insurance Purposes, Fair Market Value, and Donation Value.
Insurance Appraisals are legal documents showing proof of ownership and value if the quilted textile is lost, stolen or damaged. If completed prior to shipping, the appraisal establishes the quilt’s value if lost or damaged. A quilt accompanied by an insurance appraisal makes a very special gift.
Fair Market Appraisals establish a value for the sale of the quilt. The value reflects current market trends.
Donation Value Appraisals are required by the IRS to document the quilt’s value for donation, gift, or estate purposes.

Written-$45
For insurance purposes or determining fair market value. Complete written description and legal document determining financial value. |
Verbal-$30
For determining date, pattern, and other details, includes financial valuation, but no documentation. Verbal evaluations do not include financial information for new quilts as they require far more extensive calculation that a verbal evaluation time period will allow. |
I am a disinterested party in any articles I appraise and will not act as negotiator in the buying or selling of those items.
