Paying a visit to the 'home' of Rocky Mountain Antique Quilts is truly like visiting behind the scenes of the Americana Collection at the Smithsonian Museum, with often brilliantly colored quilts at your literal finger-tips even though though most seem to be well over 100 years old and actually to 200 years and quite possibly beyond. They are not secured behind locked glass as one might expect but, instead, are directly out in the open and very touchable. Therefore, realizing this, it is no surprise that a visitor is first ... read more
Just stopped in "for a quick look"...we ended up staying longer. The quilts are amazing and I don't understand why anyone is offended when asked not to touch. When you go to a museum, you cannot touch. Your skin has oils that can and will stain. Just look at your cell phone screen and you'll see the greasy prints left behind. Please respect that this is Betsey's passion and life's work. She was very pleasant and a joy to talk with. I will be bringing my antique quilt to her for appraisal for sure.
I've been waiting for years to meet Betsey and to visit Rocky Mountain Quilts. Several years ago she accomplished what I thought was impossible: she restored a homespun quilt from near death to vitality. My quilt now covers the bed like moss growing on a rock. As magnificent and variegated is her quilt shop, Betsey herself is as gracious and cool as can be imagined. It was an experience I won't forget and I can't wait to have again
My daughter and her boyfriend stopped by the quilt shop only to be met OUTSIDE by the owner who was obviously sizing them up. She asked what "price range" they were looking for in a quilt, still outside. My daughter said she was not looking to purchase but had an interest in quilts as I collect and make them. The owner said her quilts were in the "$600 to $10,000.00 range". How rude! I own a business, and would NEVER treat patrons that way, looking to buy or not!
What an awesome place! Betsy is a delight and incredibly knowledgeable. She spent over two hours with me and patiently showed me quilt after quilt until I decided which one to add to my budding collection. For any quilt collector or fiber lover Rocky Mountain Quilts is an adventure that you do not want to miss. It is pure joy for the eyes and it will feed your artistic soul. I will dream in technicolor quilt patterns for months now. If I could give it 6 stars I would.
