Company Description
Ann Quilts is the independent studio of Ann Wasserman, a self-employed fiber artist, educator, and quilt conservator who has worked professionally since 1980. She specializes in the restoration, conservation, and preservation of antique and vintage quilts, and pairs hands-on expertise with extensive education for owners, collectors, and makers. Her flagship offering, Preserving Our Quilt Legacy, is an in-depth virtual workshop delivered over five Saturdays and supported by how-to videos, supply samples, session recordings, and group discussions; she complements this with private Zoom lessons tailored to a specific quilt’s needs, one-hour virtual quilt triage assessments that cover age, condition, repair options, and care, and a comprehensive repair packet option that includes a detailed treatment plan, curated repair fabrics from her large stash, and a personalized demonstration video. Ann’s practice is guided by three core principles widely used in textile conservation—do as little as possible, do nothing that can’t be undone, and prioritize preventative maintenance—ensuring that historical integrity and structural stability are respected alongside the realities of use. Her book, Preserving Our Quilt Legacy (3rd edition), distills four decades of learning into illustrated, step-by-step guidance on techniques, supplies, storage, display, and cleaning, and is available directly via her Square shop, with autographed copies upon request. Ann has lectured for the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, numerous quilt guilds and historical societies, and adult education programs; her art quilts have been exhibited across the U.S. and in Japan, with awards from the Barrington Area Arts Council and Sacred Threads. She also undertakes select vintage clothing repairs and brings 15 years of experience in theater and dance costuming. Now in partial retirement, she accepts occasional repair projects by email submission of photos and focuses on teaching and outreach through virtual formats, a newsletter, YouTube, podcast appearances, and a long-running blog that documents process, philosophy, and the stories behind quilts.
