>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW WITH INSIGHTS AT THE
SHOW.
I'M JOINED BY ABIGAIL.
ABIGAIL IS ONE OF OUR KIDS QUILT
MAKERS.
EVERY YEAR AT THE GREAT
WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW, WE HAVE A
KIDS' QUILT CHALLENGE.
ABIGAIL, YOU ENTERED A QUILT
AGAIN THIS YEAR.
>> YES.
>> YOU DID.
AND I SEE IT HAS A BLUE RIBBON.
SO WE JUST FINISHED THE KIDS'
QUILT CHALLENGE ON THE STAGE AND
YOU WERE ON STAGE WITH YOUR
QUILT, AND YOU FOUND OUT YOU WON
FIRST PRIZE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR QUILT.
>> SO I FOUND THE PATTERN AT THE
NEW STORE AND I DECIDED TO
SHRINK IT DOWN AND MAKE IT
PATRIOTIC, SINCE I REALLY LIKE
DOING PATRIOTIC QUILTS.
>> FABULOUS.
>> I HAD REALLY FUN DOING IT.
>> HOW DID YOU DECIDE WHERE TO
PUT THE FABRICS?
>> THAT WAS REALLY HARD.
IT REALLY JUST DEPENDED BECAUSE
WE DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY COLORS,
THE SAME COLOR CLOSE TOGETHER.
>> RIGHT.
YOU WANTED DIFFERENT TONES AND
COLORS ON THE BACKGROUND BLOCKS.
>> YES.
>> WELL, YOU REALLY DID A GREAT
COMPOSITION WITH ALL OF YOUR
FABRICS.
AND YOUR QUILT BINDING TOO.
YOU DID QUILT BINDING AND YOU
HAVE MIGHT MITERED CORNERS.
DID YOU SEW THIS ON YOUR MOM'S
SEWING MACHINE?
>> YES.
>> YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU LIKE TO SEW OTHER THINGS
TOO.
>> I SEW GARMENTS.
>> WHAT KINDS OF GARMENTS DO YOU
MAKE?
>> SKIRTS, PONCHOS, SOMETIMES
PANTS, DRESSES.
>> AMAZING.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU
STARTED SEWING?
>> A LONG TIME AGO, I SEWED MY
FINGER FIRST IN MY MOM'S LAP.
>> RIGHT.
SO YOU'VE BEEN SEWING FOR AT
LEAST FIVE YEARS BECAUSE I'VE
KNOWN YOU AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.
>> YES.
>> RIGHT.
WELL, GREAT JOB.
I KNOW YOU SEW FOR THE MAKE IT
WITH WOOL SOMETIMES TOO.
>> YES.
>> YOU MAKE WOOL GARMENTS.
SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF SEWING
EXPERIENCE AT YOUR AGE, AND
YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR ENTERING THE
QUILT CONTEST.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> YOU'RE SO WELCOME.
AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN.

>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW.
WE'RE HAVING INSIGHTS INTO THE
EVENT, AND I'M JOINED BY CAROL
BUTZKE, QUILT APPRAISER.
WELCOME, CAROL.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
I'VE BEEN AT EACH ONE OF THE
SHOWS APPRAISING SINCE THE FIRST
ONE, 17 YEARS, I BELIEVE.
>> RIGHT.
AND YOU'RE MORE THAN A QUILT
APPRAISER.
YOU'RE ALSO A CERTIFIED QUILT
AND TEXTILE APPRAISER.
>> I AM, FOR THE AMERICAN
QUILTER'S SOCIETY, I'M ACTUALLY
ONE OF THE INSTRUCTORS FOR THEIR
PROGRAM AND I WAS CERTIFIED BACK
IN 2001, SO I GUESS I'M AN OLD
LADY AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS
FAR TOO LONG.
>> WELL, WE ADMIRE YOUR WORK AND
WE'RE GRATEFUL YOU'RE HERE WITH
US EACH YEAR AT THE GREAT
WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW.
AND QUILTERS, WHETHER YOU HAVE A
QUILT IN THE SHOW OR YOU BRING
IT IN, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND
PAY FOR AN APPRAISAL WITH YOU AT
THE GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW.
>> AND THAT'S TRUE.
WE ARE COMPLETELY BOOKED, AND WE
DID A LOT OF THE QUILTS THAT
WERE ON THE SHOW FLOOR THAT
REQUESTED APPRAISALS.
WE DO THEM FOR INSURANCE
PURPOSES MOSTLY, BUT WE ALSO DO
THEM FOR SALE AND WE DO THEM FOR
DONATION PURPOSES.
AND IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE
USED BY THE INSURANCE AGENT, BY
THE IRS OR WHOEVER NEEDS TO HAVE
THAT, AN ATTORNEY OR WHATEVER,
SO IT IS AN ACTUAL DOCUMENT THAT
CAN BE USED.
>> A WRITTEN APPRAISAL.
>> CORRECT, AS A WRITTEN
APPRAISAL.
>> AND WHAT TAKES PLACE IN A
QUILT APPRAISAL?
>> THE CLIENT WILL BRING THEIR
QUILT AND WE TAKE MEASUREMENTS
AND DO VERY DISTINCTIVE
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PIECE AND
LOOK AT THE WORKMANSHIP, AND
FIND OUT WHAT THE HISTORY OF THE
PIECE IS, AND ANY AWARD SHOWS OR
ANYTHING -- EXHIBITS THAT THE
QUILT HAS BEEN IN.
THE QUILT'S HISTORY IN ALL
EFFECT, AND THAT IS INCLUDED IN
THE APPRAISAL.
AND THEN WE GO INTO THE
MARKETPLACE, AND WE LOOK FOR
QUILTS THAT ARE COMPARABLE,
QUILTS THAT ARE APPROXIMATELY
THE SAME SIZE, SAME TYPE OF
WORKMANSHIP, THE SAME QUALITY OF
WORK, AND MAKE A DETERMINATION,
LOOKING AT SEVERAL COMPARABLES
TO GET A READING OF WHAT IT
WOULD BE TO CREATE A VALUE FOR
THAT PARTICULAR QUILT.
>> SO ARE YOU ABLE TO AGE THE
QUILT, TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE WHEN
THE QUILT WAS MADE?
>> WELL, WE --
>> OR WHERE?
>> THAT TOO.
WE DO QUILTS, CONTEMPORARY
QUILTS, NON-TRADITIONAL QUILTS,
WE ALSO DO THE ANTIQUE QUILTS
LIKE THIS QUILT BEHIND ME, CIRCA
1900, AND WE'RE ABLE TO
DETERMINE BY THE FABRICS AND THE
STYLE, PERHAPS EVEN THE LOCATION
OR THE AREA OF THE COUNTRY WHERE
IT MAY HAVE COME FROM, PLUS BY
LOOKING AT THE FABRICS, WE CAN
GET A PRETTY GOOD RANGE VIA A
CIRCA, WHICH WOULD MEAN 10 YEARS
BEFORE OR 10 YEARS AFTER A DATE
OF WHEN THAT QUILT WAS ACTUALLY
MADE.
SO WE CAN HELP DEVELOP SOME
FAMILY HISTORIES ABOUT WHO THE
MAKER IN THE FAMILY MAY HAVE
BEEN.
>> THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE QUILT BEHIND US?
>> THE QUILT BEHIND US IS
ACTUALLY A BRETHREN QUILT, WHICH
IS A GROUP OF RELIGIOUS
ORGANIZATION, GERMAN BAPTIST
BRETHREN OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA
THAT ARE PART OF THE BAPTIST
GROUP THAT INCLUDES THE
MENNINITES AND THE AMISH.
THE INFORMATION I HAD ABOUT THIS
QUILT FROM A GAL THAT I KNOW BY
THE NAME OF BARB GARRETT, WHO IS
A GREAT RESEARCHER OF
PENNSYLVANIA QUILTS, SHE WAS AT
THE AUCTION THAT THIS QUILT WAS
SOLD AT.
THIS IS PART OF MY COLLECTION,
AND IT IS FROM LEEHIGH COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA AND MADE BY A
GERMAN BAPTIST BRETHREN FAMILY.
BUT WHAT'S EVEN MORE INTERESTING
IS THAT KEN BURNS HAS A
COLLECTION OF QUILTS THAT WAS SO
GREAT TO HAVE HERE AT THIS
EXHIBIT, THEY'VE ONLY BEEN
EXHIBITED IN TWO OTHER LOCATIONS
IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THEY
WERE ABLE TO BRING IT HERE.
SO THAT'S REALLY A FEATHER IN
THE CAP OF THE GROUP THAT WORKS
HERE, AND IT'S GREAT FOR THE
PEOPLE HERE TO SEE THOSE QUILTS
FROM HIS PRIVATE COLLECTION.
BUT THERE IS ONE HERE THAT WE
THINK VERY STRONGLY IS A SIBLING
OF THIS QUILT.
IT'S ALMOST EXACTLY ALIKE.
>> IT IS.
SO THE FABRICS ARE A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT COLORS, BUT YOU
POINTED OUT THAT THIS GREEN
IS --
>> THIS YELLOWY GREEN IS IN HIS
QUILT ALL THE WAY AROUND, SO I
THINK THIS WAS THE SECOND ONE
THAT WAS MADE.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE BUT
IT CERTAINLY SUGGESTS THAT
THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
TWO QUILTS.
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SHOWED ME
THE BACK AND EXPLAINED THE BACK
OF THE QUILTS.
SO THE BACK OF THE QUILT IS A
BROWN COLOR.
>> AND IT SEEMS TO BE TYPICAL,
AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY, AND I
KEEP HOPING THAT SOMEBODY WILL
DO A STUDY AND A RESEARCH
PROJECT ON PENNSYLVANIA QUILTS
THAT HAVE BROWN BACKS, BECAUSE
I'M WILLING TO BET THERE'S ABOUT
85 TO 90% OF THE QUILTS FROM
THESE PERIOD OF TIME OF THE
1800s AND EARLY 1900s THAT
HAVE BROWN BACKS.
DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> SO INTERESTING.
SO INTERESTING.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND
SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE, CAROL.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
HAVING ME.
IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
>> YOU'RE SO VERY WELCOME.
AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN AT
THE GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW
EVENT, WITH INSIGHTS BEHIND THE
SCENES.

THIS QUILT TOOK FIRST PLACE OUT
OF ALL 10 CAT CATEGORIES THAT THE
