Teddy Pruett. Quilt Appraiser

Written appraisals will be provided for a fee of $40.00 per quilt. Written documents require approximately 30 minutes per quilt, are strictly confidential, and in most instances will be delivered to the quilt owner at the time of the appraisal. Quilts requiring additional research or consultation may be slightly higher, and will be mailed to the client upon completion of research.

Values may be for insurance replacement, fair market value, or for donation purposes in accordance with IRS guidelines. Appraisals are prepared in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

In the event a quilt does not warrant a written appraisal, or if the client simply has questions about a quilt, blocks, or tops, an oral evaluation is available for $10.00 per quilt. These should not require more than five minutes, but because they are oral, they are not confidential. These evaluations are not to be considered an appraisal. Oral evaluations are for antique and/or vintage quilts only. Because values for new quilts require a complicated set of computations, oral evaluations cannot be given for newer quilts. Appraisals are available at guild meetings, quilt shows, before or after lectures, or by private appointment. Quilts may be appraised while hanging in shows.
