Welcome to the Levy County Quilt Museum. We may be off the beaten path (between Chiefland and Bronson about a mile off Highway Alt 27 on CR134), but we're worth the effort. Our Museum has things from the past as well as many items for sale. All of our craft items were made by local residents.
By 1986 the ladies had decided they needed a place of their own rather than meeting in each other's homes. The ladies worked hard to raise the money with yard sales, bake sales, quilt raffles, dinners, and donations. The building was completed and debt free by 1998, Most of the ladies were 60+ years old.
We invite you to stop by for a visit. We have many quilt blocks on the walls under the porch roof. Inside we have quilts and sewing machines and other items, all which have been donated friends of the Museum. We have many handcrafted/quilted items on consignment and lots of quilts for all to enjoy.
We are a private Museum run by volunteers and receive no funds by any government agency. Our funding is from donations (501c3) and funds from consignment items by local crafters. We have a quilt frame set up for hand quilting and are always ready to teach anyone how to hand quilt. Volunteers are happy to answer questions on a variety of crafting projects. Stop in for a visit! |
