I lived near Lancaster back in the late '70's and so enjoyed going there to see the Amish quilts. This brought back some wonderful memories. Thank you so very much! I love the simplicity of the design and the detailed, complex quilting that enhance them. I think I will have to try my hand at one of these quilts. There is something so relaxing and meditative about hand quilting. It makes one slow down and think about life. |

To be able to see these in this collection has been magical! thank you! Thank you also also to Joe Cunningham for his music. Brenda |

It was being knocked over (metaphorically) by an Amish quilt that pushed me to start quilting a few years ago, and my first quilt was a diamond in the square. I find the Amish quilts to be the most beautiful and powerful in their simplicity. |

As a native Lancastrian, I am thrilled to have them "home." I hope you can visit us in Lancaster, to see them in person. |

She uses them for museum events, lectures and has them for sale. I have been told that many of them are in the Heritage Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Also, be sure to visit www.thequiltcomplex.com to see more. |

I grew up in Philadelphia and have visited Lancaster County several times. I became a quilter because I couldn't afford to buy an Amish/Mennonite quilt--little did I know how much I would spend as a quiltmaker! Thank you for such a great treat! |

 | Blog Title: The Esprit Collection: Amish Quilts (05/08/2009) | | | SallyRand Says: | | | May 08, 2009 at 08:37 pm | | | | Lynndi, I do know this song. It is a variation on the tune Oaken Bucket. The music was written by George Kaillmark 1781-1835. There are words that were put to this tune and the words came from The Psalms of Life, Boston, 1857-1857. The version carrying these words in called "Do What is Right" and is often sung by Christian groups. Clearly, this is Joe Cunningham's interpretation of the piece. Sally |
