I had an English friend visiting me a few years ago. She is an awesome Baltimore Album aplique quilter. We went to the museum for a private tour in Baltimore and then I took her to Amish country where we had dinner with an Amish family and stayed with a Mennonite family. It was a wonderful trip for both of us. She even taught me how to make the straw hearts and wreaths from oat straw we picked at the side of the back road.
