I love making the quilt tops and doing the machine piecing. |
In the Amish country, the average price is between $1,000 and $1,500. Art quilts can go for much more than that, just like an artist's oil painting. Handmade quilts are more valuable than machine-made quilts. Some of them take six months to a year to make. |
Occasionally, we'll get teenagers. Most are sewers. Some have mothers who sewed. The older people quilting now are doing it because they always wanted to quilt but never had the time. |
Women who take classes together become friends, meet on the outside, go to quilt shows together. |
