This year, Deborah Roberts, quilt historian and appraiser certi fied by die American Quitter’s So ciety, will be appraising all types of quilts on a first-come, first serve basis on Friday and Satur day. Deborah notes that the most common reason to appraise a quilt is for insurance coverage. She said “Losses occur even in the most simple circumstances and rarely is there a way to recov er from the loss of a treasured quilt unless it is insured. Even in the best of situations, insurance com panies today settle for cost of ma terials only, unless the value can be substantiated with a written ap praisal by a qualified quilt ap praiser.” For a $35 fee, Deborah will spend 30 minutes with you and your quilt and produce a written document that establishes a fair market value. She said, “If you think of your quilts as more than blankets, you may want to make sure that your insurance company sees it that way too!” Drs. Beth Thome and Joanna Nesselroad of Fairmount State College in Charleston, West Vir ginia study the fascinating role that feedsacks played in rural life in America. They have established a permanent collection of feed sack items that they will display at the convention on Friday. April 3. Dr. Thome says that “One of the most common misconceptions is the linking of printed bags with the depression, when the earliest they may have been available is 1937.” Convention evenings are time for lectures followed by “Show and Tell,” the time when members show their sack finds and tell the stray of how they found them. Wednesday’s lecture by Bar bara Garrett of Pottstown, is “With a Mother’s Love” a Histori cal Overview of Quilting 1780 to 1940 illustrated with 47 doll quilts. Mrs. Garrett is a quilt his torian who has served as a consult ant to the quilt documentation projects in Schuylkill and York counties. ' Thursday’s lecture is “Seed Bags and the Companies Who Issued Them” by Ron Bennett, of Victor, N.Y. Mr. Bennett will talk about the “seamless bags” that helped build America. Friday’s lecture is about the collection of Anna and Roger West cott. Anna and Roger have been collecting feedsack items for more than seven years. Their collection includes over 3,500 sacks, a clown costume, dolls (one with straw stuffing) and numerous household items. The Wesdtcott’s collection will also be displayed throughout the convention in the vendor area. Saturday’s lecture is a book signing and the showing of a film on Cotton Fields by noted feedsack author Anna Luc Cook. Day admission to the convention is $1 for non-members. Hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 3 and 4. Evening lectures begin at 7 p.m. and admission is $3 for non-members.
