I think I would have just asked for the insurance person's email address and sent it myself and skipped telling DH. tee hee

I have a rider on my home owners policy for my quilting stuff. My agent could not believe the value. He had to see it for himself ... when I pulled off a chunk of fabric and told him just the one piece was $10.00 then counted just one shelf .. he quickly stated ... "your right , you would not be covered if this was all lost". The rider costs mimimal but nice to now I would be able to "replace" my "investment".

crap.. I never thought about the insurance! MY hubby goes with me all the time, so he knows what I have... not sure he realizes how 100 here and $50 there adds up, but he was witness to most of my purchases.

I know it would be a chore, but pics would go a long way for itemizing-I shudder at the thought :) AND the value goes up with a finished quilt!

I came in through customs in October and the agent asked how I could possibly have over $600 in fabric for personal use... Well, at nearly $30/metre the stuff added up quickly... stupid exchange rates...

The whole thread has me thinking that I probably need to total the value of all of my craft supplies (quilting, scrapbooking, stamping and cross stitch) and quietly add a rider to our policy. I don't even want to think about what I have invested in this right now - and I certainly don't want to fess up to DH.

Sounds like a good project for the next week or so as I need to clear off the futon in order to give it to a student (and get it out of my house).

Cheers, K

I am suppose to inventory my fabrics and tell my insurance agent how much they are worth. Where do I start? With fabrics? What about thread and patterns and rulers and all the other stuff that I need? Then there are my machines and the Ott lite and the cabinet one machine is mounted in and the computer because it holds my embroidery designs. I'm not sure I want to know the total myself.

I dont feel so bad about how much I spend on fabric. My vacuum broke that I got for christmas when looking for the receipt I found my husbands receipts for his tools that he has bought this year totally (yes I totalled it) $3350.00, cant wait for him to bring up fabric again.
