Pam I don't know anything about appraising but want to congratulate you on winning! I missed it somehow~~

Well, the quilt WAS really beautiful.....I'm sure there are still people able to buy stuuf that high. What great compliment to you!!!!!!!

Sue, I didn't win at Knoxville. I really didn't think I would but it was nice that it was accepted. It did win best of show at my county fair.

Can someone explain to me why, if the cost for Pam to replace the quilt is $4,500 that means someone has to sell it to her for that amount. So why isn't that the sale price appraisal, too? It's just the other side of the same transaction. I mean, why is the appraisal for sale always lower than the appraisal for insurance? Is it just so the insurance company can make more money on premiums? That's always seemed kind of snarky to me.

Pam - Congratulations!!!! You may have posted a pic in another thread but could you post it here also? Would love to see it!

I don't know why replacement value is different than purchase value.

Pam that was the one. I guess I got the wrong place where you won it but it's a definite WINNER and so again, congratulations !! :D

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

Your quilt is beautiful. You should be very pleased that your work was acknowledged as very valuable from the appraiser! Congratulations!

Swallowing hard and gulping. Holey moley.
