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.
Purchase Information
We now have Paypal availability. You can either use
Paypal, allowing you to use a credit card or bank transfer, or you can pay by check
sent through the mail. We want you to be completely satisfied with
your quilt, so please email us or call before you decide on payment.
Click below on our How to Order page, which gives you purchase

your personal information, location, email and interests. Lay-a-way
arrangements can be made, and we do ship overseas.
Our business
is located in our home in the countryside outside of the historic
riverboat and Civil War town of Galena, Illinois. We 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.
The photos on these pages are full pictures, not thumbnails,
to give you the best view of the quilts with a minimum of clicking
in and out. If you have a slow internet connection our pages will take
a while to load. While you are waiting, you can always read the descriptions or go and make a nice cup
of tea.
A wide screen setting is probably the best for viewing.
We hope this is an enjoyable experience for one and all.
Thanks for visiting this site.
