This past summer I went through a gallery of more traditional quilts made by either Amish or similiar people. Some were actually commisioned. There was nothing in the store for less than $1000 no matter how small. They were beautifully handquilted. I believe it was the town of Intercourse. We had been up shopping at the semi annual sale at "Sauders". Our guild had a speaker in the last year who runs mostly a mailorder business on quilts and quilt related home items. She actually employees people to handquilt for her and then sells their work at an exorbinate price.
