    Amish Scenes: Take a Look at the Quilt

    Published: Jul 7, 2016 · Updated: Jul 7, 2016 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    By Kevin Williams

    When visiting the midwife last week in rural Wayne County, Indiana, I captured some pretty scenes.  The Wayne County Amish have their roots in Lancaster County, PA, which means their buggies are a distinctive gray and their dialect is slightly different. But what really caught my eye was a quilt hanging on the line to dry.  What I really liked about it is that it would be authentic Lancaster County quilt, not a tourist token.  I am sorry I couldn't get a closer shot, but you can probably zoom in on our own computer.  Excellent example of an authentic Lancaster County Amish quilt!

      Oh....you are making me miss Lancaster, Pa., and I don't know if I will be able to make our annual vacation there this year:(.

      Although, my son now lives in Nashville, TN, and I see there are Tennessee Amish in a town not far away from him in Etheridge. I think maybe we may go down and see him in September by car...and maybe by chance...stop somewhat midway in Lancaster, spend a few days then head down there. I would love to visit that Amish community as well, and take lots of photos. If I do, i will definitely let you know first! Also, I would be happy to do a portrait of Aster for you for all you have done for me! If you have a clear photo of her, just send it through Facebook or email it to me. Thank you Kevin!

        Cheryl...If you go to Lancaster, let me know. If you go to Ethridge, good luck is all I can say:) The Amish there would not let me even bring my camera into their yards...super conservative there! An Aster portrait would be amazing and I bet my readers would love to see it! Thanks! - Kevin
