Mom and I went to the Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum yesterday. Oh what a beautiful building. And wonderful old Amish quilts. The way they had it setup with information was really nice. We had a wonderful time there. Above was my favorite quilt - I just loved the colors, of course pictures don't capture the real beauty.
They also had an exhibit of hooked rugs. Some were new and some were very old. Many I wish I owned!

Oh my goodness! What an extraordinary place to visit...again and again. And not just for the quilts. Everything is worth a jaw drop.
It's very cool that the walls are painted different colors, isn't it! Not institutionalized feeling at all. Thanks for the great pics, Dawn!
That Noah's Ark runner on the steps is to die for and I love the ceiling - thank you so much for sharing Dawn
Just wonderful!! Thank you for sharing these photos--so much history and inspiration.
I have been to Lancaster but not to the museum. Wonder if it was there when I was in that area.
I bet there were lots of things you would have liked to come out of there with!

Thank you so much for sharing your museum visit. I wish I were there.
Wowza - that's a lot of eye candy. I love when they make the building as wonderful to look at as the contents of the museum.
This seems to be a VERY interesting museum.
Oh wow the rugs are glorious! I always wanted to see the amish quilts I bet theh were just stunning up close.
