A Visit to Folkling (in Virginia)
Ben Ashby
Back in February I went to visit my friends Folkling in Virginia. I wanted to see their shop, but mostly I wanted to see their quilt collection. I am not sure I had ever seen such a large collection for sale before of quilts that I truly loved every single one of.
For years I have loved, admired, and collected early American and Americana wares…be it furniture, firkins, or quilts. To see these all in one space was such a sight to celebrate. I was especially blown away by the eye and the knowledge of the young couple that owns the business. Their commitment to detail, to history, and to the expert care of these pieces of our past was nothing short of inspiring.
At the moment Folkling is between brick and mortar shops but has a wonderful online shop. | FOLKLING
