I’ve posted before about the beautiful Amish country of Holmes County, Ohio. My oldest daughter and I made another trip just in time for the peak colors and gorgeous landscapes.
This area is also a shopper’s paradise, particularly for quilters. My three favorite quilt shops are Helping Hands (Berlin), Gramma Fannie’s Quilt Barn (Berlin), and Miller’s Dry Goods (Charm).
Although I buy a lot of fabric for specific quilt projects, I especially love to find a bin filled with bags of remnants. I found three this trip – a 75-cent bag…
…a $2 bag….
…and a $5 bag.
The little Amish lady behind the counter told me the remnants in the $5 bag were from a quilt she had just completed. I would love to see her quilt with all those pretty fall colors.
We always stay at a cottage set in the middle of Amish farms – very quiet, picturesque and charming. There are plenty of restaurants serving Amish-style, hearty meals and lots of fun things to see and do.
I would highly recommend a visit if you’re ever in this section of Ohio.
