Went to Shipshewana today for a quilt group meeting and came home with....NOTHING! No give away items or shopping for more fabric. Nothing jumped into my arms and believe me I tried to find something. That is a BIG win! Tee-hee-hee!
I mention Shipshewana often but don't know if others know about this charming little town. It is the hub of Indiana Amish country and has two large quilt shops and oh, so many other quaint and lovely shops, horse drawn buggies, Amish businesses and good friendly folk that are Amish or Mennonite. For me it is about 50 minutes from my Michigan home and an easy drive in all seasons. Today was a picture perfect fall day for the drive with high blue skies and wood lots and trees dressed in their dark greens and fall splendor. I saw lots of animals such as horses, cows, sheep and goats nibbling at the grass inside their white fences. Many homes had a clothes line of clothing and linens waving in the wind to dry in the breeze and sun. Picturesque but practical. A nice place to visit it you are traveling the mid-west at any time of the year.
