Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA.

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

The term handmade is typically made use of to describe crafts created by an artisan as opposed to a factory. Since it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is special. Nevertheless, not all the sewing in a handmade quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses use numerous devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating blade knife and also stitch them together on the sewing machine. The quilter deals with only thimble, string, and needle to quilt thousands of little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also talent to develop an item distinctively for you.
