Desgn Wall Monday - April, 24, 2023

 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:

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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

  12. 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!

  14. 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!
