At Mystic Maine Quilts we consider quilts
as works of art and treasured keepsakes. We
know the importance a quilt may have to a person or
their loved ones. We pride ourselves in our skillfulness
in breathing new life into a tired quilt.
Mystic Maine Quilts can repair quilts that have
worn areas, areas that have
frayed at the edges, areas that have
dry rotted and/or need to be replaced
due to staining, etc. We can replace
bindings and if you wish, we can cut down
a quilt that has bad areas around the edge in order to
make a smaller more usable quilt. We can
re-quilt areas that have been damaged. We have
the skill to take a worn tired quilt and make it strong
enough to be used caringly for the remainder of its
life. We have sources for vintage fabrics
that can be used in your worn quilt to breath new life
into the quilt and still retain its original appearance.
If we do not have a fabric that looks like the original
there are many reproduction fabrics
that could be used successfully.
The talented staff at Mystic Maine Quilts are expert
in damage assessment of older quilts,
however, now and again we come across a quilt that is so
old and worn that it cannot be saved. If the cost of
repair is higher than the value of the quilt it might be
necessary to decide not to attempt the repair, but this
too depends on the sentimental value of the quilt. That
is a decision that you will have to make and we know
it's not an easy one.
Contact us if you are interested in quilt repair. We
will be happy to discuss your options with you. Rest
assured, we will do everything possible to
carefully, skillfully, and
lovingly restore the quilt to its
original condition so it can be enjoyed by future
generations. If you are interested in having a quilt
repaired and would like to discuss your repair in detail
