I have a few quilts that were my great aunts and great grandmothers that I would like to have repaired. One is semi-finished and the other two need repairs.

I have a lot of old quilts that my great-grandmother made. I usually mend them myself. However, obviously that isn't the answer......You should take one into a seamstress at your favorite dry cleaners. Ask them if they do that kind of mending. If not, they should be able to recommend someone that does. The other thing is at a local farmer's market or flea market. Many times there are locals that do this kind of work.

Check with a quilt/fabric shop in your area. They have a lot of information like this. But I would be really careful about taking it to an alterations person in a dry cleaners. Unless you really lucked out, they wouldn't have the expertise you need for your family heirlooms. You might be better off just keeping them stored until you can find someone who knows what they are doing. Good Luck!

Contact churches in your area. The ladies get together to quilt, and one of them will know someone who can help you.
