Lost and found again, textiles!
Whippoorwill Quilts was born in December 2018, from a love of old things and the stories they carry! We search for vintage quilts, feed sacks, fabrics, quilt tops and collectible textiles—pieces that have already lived a life and deserve to keep being loved…
And they are getting harder and harder to find.
We think of ourselves as more than collectors or sellers. We’re stewards of these old textile collections — finding them, saving them, learning their stories when we can, and helping them find their way into the hands of the next person who will appreciate them.
— Welcome —
We are so happy you found our quilt shop! We sell genuine, handmade vintage & antique quilts, as well as collective textiles. We find these vintage and antique collectibles all over the country, clean & process each quilt, top, or feed/flour sack, and list them for you every week. Restocks are announced on Instagram and Facebook as soon as we know the restock date. Every quilt & textile leaves our shop ready to use and enjoy. We hope you will consider adding some of our amazing, one-of-a-kind quilts & sought-after vintage textiles to your collection. Happy shopping y’all!
