About Us

Hi! I’m Brad Johnson founder and owner of Festival Quilts.  Originally from Illinois my young family moved to Raleigh, NC in 1997 for education purposes. It became our permanent home because we love it here! And we love our small business that offers gorgeous quilts and their accessories to our customers. Here’s the quick backstory of the business.

Festival Quilts began as a hobby business in May of 2014 at the Hillsville, VA Flea Market. My brother, at the time, had been in the quilt business for 20 years and he set me up at the flea market and sent me a truck load of quilts to sell.

The shoppers loved the quilts and I had lots of fun running the store. Soon more shows were added. An anchor store was opened indoors at the Raleigh Market on the N.C. State Fairgrounds, where we still set up from time to time. Over the years, we’ve added textile suppliers to our ever growing list. This allows us to offer more beautiful quilt styles to our customers.

After great demand for an online presence, we finally responded with our new online store. We hope you enjoy shopping and find the perfect quilt set for your home.
