Deborah Roberts' Personal Statement

"Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for a quilt owner to have a loss of, or damage to a quilt. When this occurs, it amazes me, that these wonderful creations, whether old family heirlooms, new innovative designs, or beautifully quilted garments, are not covered by insurance. Losses occur even in the most simple circumstances and rarely is there a way to recover from the loss of a treasured quilt unless it is insured. Even in the best of situations, insurance companies today settle for cost of materials only, unless the value can be substantiated with a written appraisal by a qualified quilt appraiser."
