We are Jack and Susan Davis, owners of Olde America Antiques in Bozeman, Montana. We have collected antiques since the 1970s and became antique postcard and ephemera dealers in 1988. Over the years we have amassed a collection of more than 25,000 vintage images. Susan is a long-time quilter and has always wanted to print vintage images on cloth for quilters. The combination of Susan’s passion for collecting and commitment to quilting has resulted in this business.

Olde America Antiques evolved from an antique business into a fine art printing company in the 1990s. We began working in 1998 to develop a process to produce fine art prints on cloth. The solution we discovered, after several years of research, was to engineer an 8-color giclee printer to print on cloth. Giclee printers were originally created to print on fine art paper. Our efforts resulted in a major breakthrough in the printing industry.

Giclee (zhee-CLAY) printing is a recently developed printing process that utilizes high resolution digital scanning and new, sophisticated inkjet technology to reproduce detailed, accurate images and artwork. The inks used are archival quality, resulting in colors that are brighter and longer lasting than prints made by traditional printing methods. The colors we are able to produce on cloth are bright and vibrant and the image reproduction is excellent. We use the latest computer and software technology to create the finest prints on cloth possible. The cloth we use is 100% cotton sateen that is soft and easy to quilt. The quilt blocks we produce are among the very best and easiest to work with on the market today.

Our American Quilt Blocks are READY-TO-SEW. They are NOT TRANSFERS. The old transfer process resulted in hard and brittle quilt blocks that were virtually impossible to quilt through. The old transfers were labor intensive and difficult to work with. Our quilt blocks are easy to work with and the color reproduction is vastly superior to the older transfers.

Our collection of vintage images includes a wide range of materials and topics. We currently have more than 5,000 images and 40 different topics on this web site. We are always adding new images and categories as time permits. The quilt blocks we offer for sale are available in various sizes in sets or as single quilt blocks. We are a family business with a focus on quality and personal service. Satisfaction is guaranteed on all the products we produce.

We look forward to working with you and serving you any way we can. You are welcome to contact us with any requests or questions .

Thank you,
Jack and Susan Davis
