Yesterday Loz and I decided to investigate Amish country with a driver, as the public transport in the area is very poor and many shops are situated away from main tourist drag. We found a great shop, Hannah's Quilts, after a recommendation from some Dutch quilters. Well, I think Hannah was rubbing her hands together with glee as, after the arrival of two more friends, some Amish quilts were purchased. Beautifully hand quilted with the makers initials, date and place...lovely!
We also investigated Lancaster itself and an old graveyard....amazing to wander around.
Still amazed by squirrels...we saw this little chap!

So lucky, Isounds like the best trip.
I've never been to Amish country in any other state except for Ohio. Lovely quilt.
Oh am sooo excited for you - have always wanted to visit the "AMISH" countryside.
A lovely visit and a wonderful quilt, wow. I was amazed by the squirrels when I visited the Uk, before then I had only seen them on cartoons!!! xo
The pictures are great and show that you are having a good time.
The area around Lancaster is very beautiful. I hope you're going to be someplace safe and cozy when the storm get here.
What wonderful travels! I've been to Lancaster once, and bought more fabric than should be legally allowed.
If you find yourself near Chicago, stop by. We have lots of squirrels!
so who brought this one???
So someone owns an honest to goodness Amish quilt? That's MY kind of souvenir!
Great pictures Cardy.
Hope you picked up an extra suitcase or do you need one each! Hmmm now I know what happens to the halloween pumpkin..a tasty squirrel treat!
What a wonderful trip! I loved Lancaster but was only there briefly and didn't see near enough. Have the best time!
sounds like a fabulous trip Allison
