Now might be a good time to pick up a bargain, pop over and see Deb or get on the internet at( www.thepatchworkgallery.com.au) When I was over there Deb had some lovely Japanese Fabrics, Margaret.

QUILT REGISTER

Dear Quilters,
We have all had the worry of losing quilts and making them
identifiable has been a problem (so no one can claim that the "stolen" quilt is a copy or that it was a gift from a friend).
Quilts are very expensive and the loss is usually devastating to the maker. Not any more. I have set up a data base and am able to supply a microchip that can be sewn into the quilt, that will ID your quilt when scanned by any ID scanners. Each quilt will enter a data base with a photo , a specific number on the microchip, name and address of owner and stored in a file. A copy of the registration will be supplied with the quilt and this can be transferred when quilt is either sold, donated or given as a gift.
Application forms can be acquired from :
The National Quilt Register
