I enjoy visiting areas where the Amish and Mennonite live. <br /><br />As you know, I prefer hand quilting, too. Everyone has their own favorite.<br /><br />Looks like your Mom and you enjoyed your time away.<br />Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-41942370524271190902009-08-27T09:42:26.652-05:002009-08-27T09:42:26.652-05:00We have a Mennonite community just west of Toronto...We have a Mennonite community just west of Toronto and what a joy it is to get off the beaten track and shop in the Amish stores. At one shop, the lady did a bed turning too and what pleasure to see all the beautiful quilts. At that shop, the lady wanted me to take home quilts to do hand quilting, binding, etc. as she had a hard time keeping up with customer orders and needed folk to work on her quilts. Sadly, I had to say 'no' but what a thrill that she asked me without even seeing any of my work. Mind you, she did ask if I sewed my own clothes and everything I wore that day, I made. Guess that decided it for her.<br /><br />Looks like you and you Mom had a great time!Rose Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222914515169308269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-60379895455039137082009-08-26T23:28:17.770-05:002009-08-26T23:28:17.770-05:00It sounds like an incredible trip!
