The Great Blog Off is nearly over. At least in my part of the world. It’s been an enjoyable day. Thank you all for stopping by Quilting and Patchwork, reading our posts and leaving comments.

If you didn’t make it today, the posts, full of information, tips, and fun, will still be here.

ENJOY! Mary Emma

Thank You for Stopping By Quilting & Patchwork for the Great Blog Off

*The quilt or hanging you just made

*The quilt you purchased at a yard sale or auction for a low price

*The quilt Grandma or Great Grandma made

*The old quilt in the attic that has holes, but still has good sections, too, with intricate hand quilting

*The quilt that a child in the family made

Some quilts have monetary value while others are nostalgic.  Then you have some that include both.

You may want to have your quilt(s) appraised by someone who’s an expert if you think they have monetary value.  For insurance purposes, too, this is a good idea.

Nostalgic Value

Some quilts have mainly nostalgic value, but to the owners, they are very valuable.  For instance, the quilt I made with my grandmother for my bed is well worn.  Even though it includes many memories. it doesn’t have monetary value.  However, it’s of value to me.

What about you?  Take a look at your quilted items.  What is the value of your quilt(s)?

What Is the Value of Your Quilt?

The Great Blog Off at b5media celebrates the June 20th summer solstice.  Most participating blogs from the Lifestyles, Business, and Entertainment channels will post content once per hour for each hour of the day.  

However, some like Quilting and Patchwork , will be posting periodically.  At Home Biz Notes, another of my b5media blogs, we’ll be posting more frequently.  Some of the tips and information there will be particularly helpful to quilters and fabric artists who are operating home based businesses.

This is the first time since 1975 that the summer solstice hasn’t occurred on June 21. On this day, the daytime hours are at a maximum in the Northern hemisphere and night time is at a minimum. It is officially the first day of summer.

The great blog off begins at 12:01 am on June 20th. Each blog channel will be accepting charitable pledges for a charity that they have chosen.

Stay tuned, as we will be having articles from guest writers. Enjoy!
