Rocky Mountain Quilts
Some of the finest artwork you can invest in and enjoy forever was created by American Women in order to keep their families warm on those long northern winter nights. Those amazing artists, 50 to 250 years ago, produced beautiful quilts that can be yours, and can be used on beds or displayed on walls of even the most modern homes. These genuine antique works of art, with their innovative designs, vivid colors and intricate patterns, crafted by your ancestors, will continue to appreciate in value as antiques, and to bring beauty and joy to you and your family in perpetuity, at prices far below those of other forms of art.
When clients come in the shop they see signs asking them please do not touch the textiles. All of the cotton quilts have been hand washed, and natural oils from our skin could stain the fabrics. After your hands are washed in our very clean washroom, then let's look at what you are searching for :-) I am fortunate that the antique quilt shop is in a barn attached to my home, giving me a 28 foot commute. My clients enjoy meeting our hypo-allergenic animals. We have a German Hunting Poodle who is a registered Therapy Dog, and two indoor-only hypoallergic Russian Siberian Forest Cats, who can often be seen sleeping on piles of quilts covered with protective sheets. People who love quilts also seem to love animals....and our animals love people.
If you view pictures of our quilts on the web or from an email, please remember that different computers, tablets, phones, and especially printers, all display colors differently. Also, in your home the colors will differ depending on the type of lighting: incandescent, fluorescent, LED, or sunlight. That is one reason why we send quilts on approval, so you can see how they actually look in your own home.
On this website, if you see shadows on a picture, they are from the photographer, they are not on the quilt.
Please feel free to ask about our payment plans, including discounts for payment by check.
We are happy to ship internationally.
