Fiber Talk with Cindy Lee Gershin II

Close up of a sampler from Cindy Gershin’s collection.
Have an antique needlework piece and wonder what it’s worth. Curious about the value of the wall of framed pieces you stitched? Want to know whether you should insure your needlework and stash from natural disasters? In this week’s show, sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery, Cindy Gershin returns to guide us through the world of needlework appraisal. She describes the work that is involved in a professional appraisal, helps you understand what you should document and why, and gives you a realistic perspective on the value of your work.–Beth and Gary
