About 4 years we were visiting Lancaster, PA area , visiting quilt and fabric shop. While we were at one shop a van load of Hmong ladies came into the shop to deliver quilts to be sold. I was shocked by this because these quilts are sold as "Amish made quilts", I feel this is very dishonest to the customers. They do beautiful work,granted but they are not truly "Amish" quilts. These people do not get the big money--the stores do.
Sorry I had to vent as I feel the tourists who go there for genuine "Amish" quilts and pay the big prices are being lied to. What is your opinion?
