Lost Quilt Come Home

After valuable insights from some generous quilters (thanks Karen, Sandra, and Margaret!), I made some revisions to the Quiltmaker’s Documentation form. If you downloaded one yesterday, you might consider downloading the new form today. The file has the same name, so it should overwrite the previous one if you save them both in the same place.

The new form includes space for sales information and appraisal information. I made some other additions and modifications, too. And then I entertained myself by playing around with some finicky details, which made me happy and hopefully made the form nicer to look at and easier to understand.

Also, I just learned about a website where you can upload any PDF file and fill it out online. That will give you nice, neat typed writing instead of handwriting, if that’s important to you. If you have a Facebook account, you can save, print, or revise the entered information, too. The website is called PDF Filler, http://www.pdffiller.com/. No affiliation, etc.

I hope you will find the form useful. Again, please feel free to distribute it to your quilting friends.

I just added a free Quiltmaker’s Documentation form to the informational page called “Documenting Your Quilt” which is under the “Protecting Quilts” tab above. If you are a quiltmaker, I encourage you to take the time to document your quilts. Your written documentation becomes so important if your quilt becomes missing, but it is also valuable for your family. As someone who has a father with Alzheimer’s Disease, the things he took time to write down have become such a treasure.

Please feel free to make copies of this quilt documentation form and distribute it to your friends, your quilt guild, or wherever you like. May your quilt never be among the missing!
