2006 Opportunity Quilt: Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00 and were available at the show. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Mary Zesiger Mammography Fund, which provides free mammography screening for individuals in financial need. (Click here, or on the quilt image to see a larger view.) Appraisals: Amy Korn conducted quilt appraisals of both antique and contemporary quilts during show hours. An appraisal can offer financial protection against theft, loss or damage of your quilt. The appraisal can also provide a "fair market value" if you wish to sell your quilt or determine its value for a donation, gift or estate purposes for the IRS. Amy can also date your quilt and provide information on care and storage. Each appraisal lasts approximately 30 minutes and takes into account the current market in our geographical area, the quilt’s condition and workmanship, and its history and provenance. You will receive a copy of the final appraisal in the mail (with a photograph of your quilt) within 7-10 days. The cost for each appraisal is $35.00. You can make an appointment by contacting Amy directly at 614-891-8008 or send an e-mail to amyokorn@hotmail.com.
