When I decided to go on this trip I also decided I would bring home an Amish quilt. The one I chose may not be the traditional Amish quilt but as the Netty says things have changed, colours and styles.
It has definitely been lovingly made by a group of Amish women in the county of Kent in the town of Berlin, Ohio.
 |
| In this house my quilt was born .( Alma's House) |
 |
| On this old sewing machine my quilt was pieced. |
 |
| By this lovely lady, Alma Troyer. |
 |
| This is my king size quilt , it was hand quilted by Sarah Miller and the ladies who work with her to hand quilt . |
 |
| Alma says this is one of her favourite quilts to piece. |
 |
| Meet Netty ,each lady seems to have their own quilting motif so you know who has done the quilting. |
 |
| Netty quilting a quilt for someone. The Amish ladies can make themselves money through quilts , quilting and quilt tops. |
 |
| Quilting is a job shared |
 |
| Admiring Netty's work |
 |

 |
| Jenny ans Sue are studying this quilt |
 |
| Di bought this quilt top |
