Hand Stitched Amish Wall Hanging
Item Number: 140
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
The Amish are not quick to change, that is an obvious fact. It is this single characteristic that has given us a quilting tradition that has endured for generations. An authentic Amish quilt is constructed using only plain fabrics, that is to say, no prints, stripes or plaids. The colors are representative of naturally occurring hues in a variety of muted shades--blues for the sky, browns for the earth, greens for the vegetation. Since old-order, the Amish have no electricity, fabrics are machine pieced together on treadle sewing machines and hand-quilted.
This wall hanging measures 42" x 42"
