I just got home from a quilt retreat with my daughter and many quilty friends. It was so much fun. Such a blessing to quilt for a few days with kindred quilting souls. Plus spending time with my daughter was extra special. It was wonderful.
One of the special events we could attend was a talk and display of Amish crib quilts and doll quilts. This presentation was given by Rebecca Haarer, the owner of Rebecca Haarer Arts and Antiques, a store in Shipshewana, Indiana. Today’s post is a parade of some of the beautiful Amish quilts she showed us:
Enjoy. I don’t remember what Rebecca Haarer said about this one, as it has printed fabric in it, but it was includedin her talk, and I like it.
Solid colors:
Here are three adorable Amish doll quilts:

I am glad you had a fun time at the retreat. Thank you for the quilt show :-) Covid killed many real life quilt shows so I am happy to attend a virtual one. Have a great week. Hope the linky party is open soon!
The quilts are lovely! I always enjoy hearing Rebecca "speak", so many lovely quilts. It was nice to meet your daughter, she is definitely a speedy crocheter. Happy stitching!
Sounds like you had a really good retreat. Amish quilts are so cool, they do such perfect work. Hope you were able to get in a lot of your own stitching time while you were there.
Fun to see all those loved quilts from earlier days! I'm looking forward to your retreat show & tell!
A retreat and a trunk show - what fun! It's been a couple of years since I went on a retreat - basically right after we felt safely vaccinated against Covid.
What a fun retreat event. And with your daughter attending too. I'm so jealous. My daughter quilts but I don't think she would be able to get away from work and family yet. Maybe one day though. Lovely Amish quilts. Must have been fun to see them up close.
I love Amish quilts, thank you for the show! Sounds like you went to the perfect retreat. Daughter and friends together with quilting!
The spring retreat that I had planned on attending was cancelled because of several ladies having health issues. :'( I had mixed feelings about the news, since one quilter showed up ill and shared with many of us. Disappointed, yet relieved? I may not be cut out for retreats. lol! I'm glad you had a great time with your daughter. <3
aren't those pretty quilts!
But a quilt retreat with your daughter - even better! I would have loved that!
So great you had a wonderful time
Love the use of the blue checked gingham in that first quilt. Makes me what to replicate it.
Your retreat sounds like fun and I loved seeing the photos of the trunk show. What a treat to have a historian present to you all.
We recently had the Mennonite Relief Sale here. Always so many beautiful quilts that they auction off.
Sadly I didn't get to go this year....first year I've missed, and I really missed being able to shop at the quilter's corner!
That first quilt looks modern. Such a lovely show and tell! I esp love the dolly quilts!
Retreats are always fun and refreshing. How cool you got to spend that time with your daughter too!
So fun to attend a quilt retreat in Shipshewana - my mom is there this weekend. I would be there too except for graduation activities at home. Looks like a neat talk with lots of beautiful quilts!
