Was this what they call a MUD SALE? I went to one of those down by Lancaster, PA and it was fabulous! So many beautiful quilts I could hardly stand it. I bid on several and got the one I really wanted. It's all hand sewn and quilted and I love it. It was a steal too!

My first thought was that the women in the second picture are Mennonites. Amish women do not to my knowledge carry purses, wear bright colors, or allow their pictures to be taken. However, all my Mennonite friends are ok with the above mentioned. Maybe they are from a not so strict Amish order.
I too was amazed to see the bargello and some of the others you say are Amish quilts. Very interesting.

She definitely was opposed to that pic being taken! Surely the Bargello must be from a non-Amish vendor. I can hardly believe they do Bargellos. Quilts are beautiful! TFS the pics! :-D :-D :-D
