Amish Trip to Pennsylvania

​I recently went to Pennsylvania on a trip with a lovely group of like-minded quilting ladies and the trip was organised by Charlene Cruise.  As she has been to America many times she is a bit of an expert and had a packed itinerary ready which got us excited even before we got there.
We stayed in Kitchen Kettle Village which is in the town of Intercourse.  Our accommodation was fantastic.  Most of the rooms were above quilt or gift shops.  The shop above was across the street from Kitchen Kettle and was the most beautiful quilt shop.  Shelves of gorgeous fabrics, beautiful gifts and hand quilted patchwork quilts for sale. Look at the hitching rails for the horses.

Our Accomodation
This is the bedroom that I shared with my friend Anne.  Some of the other rooms had full quilts on the beds.  Plenty of space and gorgeous décor.

I'm afraid that I will have to split the photographs up into different posts as there are just too many for one. 
So I hope you'll come back to see them.
​Can I please also ask for your patience as I learn this new format for my blog and
​excuse any teething troubles that I may have.

​Bye for now.

Hi Sandra, I went on Charlene's first Kitchen Kettle trip and loved it. I still love looking at my photos and got lots of inspiration (and fabric) when there. The pictures you have posted of your quilting are inspirational too. In my dreams I am considering buying a mid arm machine for personal use. It won't be cost effective but it would be fun. Best wishes, Sandra

I was thinking last night that it's almost a year since I was there. It was brilliant, a whole other world. If you really love quilting, why not. Things aren't always cost effective but they can be life changing. Good luck with your dream.
