The LibQuilts Collection may be admired on a bed but the designs really pop when hung as textile art. A sleeve for hanging may be added to most any quilt. The collection also offers vintage quilt tops, blocks, quilt fragments, feedsacks and vintage linens.
The LibQuilts Collection is located in a residence in Tulsa, OK. Quilts are always on display and the vintage room is filled with over 200 vintage quilts waiting to continue their histories with new collectors and families. Many of the quilts are in unused condition.

The LibQuilts Collection
by Libby Wallis Russell
The LibQuilts Collection specializes in vintage quilts and comforters dating from the 1880’s to the 1980’s.
The collection is strong in two color quilts pieced in block format as well as planned scrap quilts in block format. Many bear strong resemblance to the patterns published by mid-western sources from the 1920’s thru the 1960’s including Kansas City Star, Capper’s Weekly, Ladies Art Circle, Aunt Martha’s and Mrs. Danner. The collection also includes silk, cotton, and wool crazy quilts and wool log cabin quilts.
