As usual, many interesting quilts have been added to our Latest Quilt Additions page. And be sure to look at the Bargain page.

This page has been expanded to include most of our collection of overshot, double cloth, double weave Jacquard and Biederwand (some tied) Jacquard coverlets. We have quite a few named Jacquards.

This is a new page of all white pieces. Some were meant to be wedding quilts or coverlets, and we just don't know if that was the intent for others. It is certainly not unusual to make a wedding quilt of colored fabric, so let's just say these are whole-cloth white.

Our business is located in our home in the countryside outside of the historic riverboat and Civil War town of Galena, Illinois. The Woodfords welcome visitors by appointment. Our fine selection and personal service will help you to find the perfect quilt for your collection, that special bed or wall, or to toss on a favorite antique chair. Page links are at the bottom of each page.

Please use the links below to find appropriate pages. Note our specially priced quilts on the Bargain Quilts page.
Depending on the speed of your connection, pages may take a while to load. These are full pictures, not thumbnails, to give you the best view and most accurate color depiction. If you are waiting for the photos to load, you can always read the descriptions or go and make a nice cup of tea.
We hope this is an enjoyable experience for one and all. Thanks for visiting this site.

If you are looking for compression-type or alternative style quilt hangers, go to Robinson's Woodcrafts. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Another excellent source for quilt hangers is Plain and Simple Quilts. They also have a nice line of New Amish style quilts.
For fine antique beds of all different styles, fully restored, we suggest Vintage Antique Beds.
