Quilts Unlimited, the parent company of these wonderful businesses, was founded by Joan Fenton and her husband Albie Tabackman in 1981.

Inspired by a love of antique and new quilts, Joan and Albie were the first people to offer an extensive collection of quilts via mail order and were one of the premier dealers of American antique quilts.

The business has changed over the years. We now have two retail stores in Virginia, an online store featuring FLAX linen clothing, an online store featuring gift items such as Frye leather bags, whimsical clocks, and artisan jewelry, along with an Etsy store for quilts.

J. Fenton is located in Merchants Square, adjacent to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. The shop features an extensive collection of clothing for women, including FLAX linen in sizes 6–26, hats, and other accessories. We also feature American handcrafts in wood, glass and pottery; artisan jewelry; and a large selection of gifts, including socks for men and women.

J. Fenton Too is located on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall. This store has now combined with our Quilts Unlimited shop, to offer clothing for women, including FLAX linen clothing, and a curated collection of our favorite gifts and handcrafts.

Joan personally selects every item sold in the stores and they reflect her eye for quality, love of the beautiful and practical things, and a touch of whimsy.
