Appraisal Day

THE NATIONAL QUILT MUSEUM HOLDS QUILT APPRAISAL DAY
Thursday, November 17th
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Nationally Known Appraiser, Gerald Roy, Offers Professional Assessments of Quilts

Paducah, KY – The National Quilt Museum will hold a Quilt Appraisal Day for the public. Nationally known appraiser Gerald Roy of Warner, N.H., offers professional assessments of quilts both new and old. Each appraisal consists of a description of the quilt in terms of pattern, fabrics, techniques, quality of construction, condition, confirmation of information known by the current owner, replacement value and an approximate date of quilt.

“The quilt appraisal day is a fundraising event to support the care and conservation needed to preserve the Museum’s Founders Collection of Quilts, said May Louise Zumwalt, Executive Director of The National Quilt Museum. “This event is a great opportunity for people to learn more about a family treasure for estate planning or to verify the value for insurance purposes.”

Each quilt appraisal costs $50 and takes about 30 minutes. Pre-registration with a $20 deposit is required. For more information, or to schedule an appointment for the next event, contact the museum at 270. 442.8856 or info@quiltmuseum.com.

Roy found the art of quiltmaking through his love of fine art and has since become a judge, teacher and lecturer of quilts. With an MFA in painting, he taught art for 10 years in Oakland, CA, where he also co-owned a gallery. Roy was one of the first members of the AQS Appraisal Certification Committee.
