Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

Every step of the quilt-making process calls for a certain woman's knowledge. Every one of our ladies focuses on either assembling or quilting. Consequently, at the very least two ladies are involved in making each quilt. The women who stitch the tops with each other focus on piecing certain quilt patterns. Given that each quilter's stitches differ, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system enables each lady to end up being a professional in her work.
