Quilting and Patchwork

Caring for Your Quilts

by Mary Emma Allen on July 6th, 2006

Caring for your quilts, whether they’re heirloom ones or those you’ve recently created, should be of concern to all quilters and collectors.  How do you keep those old quilts from deteriorating?  What’s the best way to save your newly made quilts?

Nancy Kirk (http://www.kirkcollection.com/) offers a free Quilt Care Course.  She’ll send you, through your e-mail, lessons that give you tips on caring for your quilts.

Nancy also has free newsletters.  She offers workshops and CDs in fabric dating and quilt restoration for those who are interested in this aspect of quiltmaking and preservation.

Another resource on quiilt care is Patricia Lynne Grace Cummings’ book, Straight Talk About Quilt Care: Display, Cleaning and Storage of New & Antique Quilts & Needlework.
