I'm showing these quilts I made that reflect the Amish style. I always admired these quiet women so much when we would visit Lancaster. Their sparkling houses and polished wood makes me long for much more dedication to keeping things lean and spare. Of course that's not how real life is-at least for us for the time being. We've got stuff. I'm showing these for Kathy of Inspired by Antique Quilts who had a question regarding black fabric. She has a great sight with outstanding work that makes me drool.
I'm swamped with stuff for birthdays and trips ahead so I hope to get back to regular posts some time soon. Gotta go make dinner-it's Thursday night quilting with the girls. Hope you have a great evening.

These are lovely. It takes great skill to work on solids.
I so love Amish quilts--especially the old Lancaster quilts. Yours are beautiful.
I have always used Kona black, but it seems to me that they have changed it. It used to be a very soft, matte black. Lately it seems a little shiny. I like the old stuff better.
Just beautiful. I have an Amish style quilt rolling around in my head . . . and the fabrics near my work area to keep me inspired *s*
Oh, I loved looking at these. Nice workmanship!
Beautiful Amish quilts. So much we can learn from their way of living and style.
I love the quiet beauty of Amish quilts. Amish quilts were what got me into quilting in the first place. (I am from Ohio.)
Oh my, how absolutely gorgeous! Love your music, too!
I love these. They are beautiful. I have always been intrigued with the Amish people. I would love to visit them.
the quilts are fabulous. I love the simplicity of the quilts. It makes the colors really make a statement... as well as the quilting!
