About our owner
Barbara Woodford, Ph.D. has been enthusiastically collecting
quilts for 15 years and continues to study and appreciate the
many forms of this fine craft. Most of her quilts are obtained
in the Midwest and are selected for good condition, history and
artistry. Her main interest is finding the right home for each
quilt so that it can be preserved and enjoyed to the fullest extent.
Barbara, a former experimental neuropathologist at the University
of Illinois in Chicago and then at the University of Southern
California in Los Angeles, currently resides near Galena, Illinois.
