Item Description
What a beautiful piece of bedding! Log Cabin pattern, King Size Handmade Quilt, much of it made by the Amish in Lancaster, PA. Machine quilted by Susan Freese and quilt finished by Donna Rineman. 100" x 107".
(Buyer responsible for shipping costs)
People from all over the world come to Lancaster Pennsylvania to purchase quilts made by Amish and Mennonite women. These Amish quilts with roots in many cultures are viewed today as quintessentially American. Most first time visitors are taken aback by the great variety of design and coloring, as well as the intricacy of quilts on display.
Not so obvious is the special way these quilts are produced. At a time when practically every textile product sold in America is made in a sweatshop in Asia, these Amish quilts are made one at a time in people's American homes. What's more, these quilts are made using just the technology that was in common use 150 years ago. Because of the extensive handwork most women only take part in producing a couple of quilts each year.
