Amish Quilts

In the early days of America, the pioneers  and families that took their  chances out in the deep woods and prairies, away from  the rest of  civilization, had to incredibly frugal  with anything they had, just to survive.  Quilting is an art form that came from this frugality.  Cloth was not cheap and made on high tech computerized machines, but often hand woven or on old non-mechanized looms.

Quilting was an excellent  way to save and re use even  the smallest scraps of used, old fabric,  while providing warmth and  cover. 

This lense is being  built, and it needs a lot of work.  I appreciate your patience while I finish my  research and gather  materials to  make an interesting  and useful lense for you.
