Care of Quilts

Most people I meet who have antique quilts want to know how to care for them. “How should they be stored?” “Can I launder or dry clean my quilts? “ Those are the two most commonly asked questions I hear.

I recommend that you read: http://www.quiltersmuse.com/quilt_care_straight_talk_book_intro.htm about quilt care. It is written by Patricia Cummings and is on her site: www. quiltersmuse.com.

A log cabin quilt from the 1800′s. It looks quite contemporary, doesn’t it?

  No, I don’t, unfortunately.

Thanks for the mention of my website. Just this past week, I decided to offer my previously printed book (later an e -book) as a downloadable pdf at a reduced cost as I won’t have to physically print it or mail it. Many people have found the book to be helpful.
