Latest Quilt Additions
As usual, many interesting quilts have been added
to our Latest Quilt Additions, page. And be sure to look at the
Bargain page.
Woven Coverlets
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.
All White or Wedding Quilts and Coverlets
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.
If you have a dial-up provider our pages will take a while
to load . These are full pictures, not thumbnails, to give you
the best view of the quilts with a minimum of clicking in and
out. A 10-inch wide screem is probably the best for viewing. While
you are waiting for the photos to load, you can always read the
descriptions or go and make a nice cup of tea.
Those with wireless providers, on the other hand, may be
fortunate enough to have the long pages complete at once.
We hope this is an enjoyable experience for one and all.
Thanks for visiting this site.
