Sisters Trip 01

I've recently returned from a trip with friend to Sisters, Oregon, to the Open Air Quilt Show there but first we stopped off in Pennsylvania to meet up with Internet Friends and be invited to joined a quilt group as international members (!) which involved singing our respective national anthems and partaking of pudding. We did the bulk of our holiday shopping in Amish and Mennonite quilt shops where the choice was wide and prices very reasonable. Sauders (see sign) was the best for bargains, Burkholders the best stocked (see shelves of bolts)and the Old Country Store (see frontage) the most attractive especially as it had a museum and display section upstairs.
I also include a picture of an Amish schoolhouse with outhouse.

I'm so glad you were able to see the Lancaster County area, not to mention Sauder's, Burkholder's, and The Old Country Store. I live about 1 1/2 hours north of here in PA, but I head for the Lancaster area for a quilt "fix" at least two or three times a year.
