Greetings! My name is Alexandra Schweitzer but most folks call me, “Sandy.” I am an American Quilt Society (AQS) Certified Quilt Appraiser. As a quilt appraiser I especially want to share information on how you can protect both your old and newly-made quilts.
I offer lectures and workshops on a number of quilt-related topics that always have a historical reference along with a trunk show. As a quilt historian I bridge the traditional to the present. I am a member of AQSG as well as several state quilt study groups.
I especially enjoy repairing old quilts to give them an extended life. I both teach about quilt repair and I also repair quilts as a business.
And-----I am a quiltmaker! I make both traditional and contemporary art quilts. My art quilts often convey a message or social commentary. I am a member of PAQA (Professional Art Quilters Alliance) and SAQA (Studio Art Quilters Association.)
I will be featuring a different quiltmaker, quilter, quilt or perhaps a book each month. Come back and visit often.
