The amish are a religious group
born in the XVI century in central Europe. They separated from the
"official" churchand therefore were prosecuted and killed. They
migrated to the United States of America and established their communities
in different states,where they still live today.
They have a different way of
living,reflected also in their clothes and in the little use of
technologies.
Their quilts are
simple and with characteristic colors in solid fabric.The quilting
is beautiful.
On the trips I organize we visit
the amish comunity of Lancaster County in Pennsyvania. And live
in an amish B+B.
Among other things we visit
museums and farms ,quilt shops and fabric shops and take one-day
quilting class with an american teacher.
