usually see the old traditional patterns; i'm a little surprised--i guess they have to keep up with the times though...

I too was amazed to see the bargello and some of the others you say are Amish quilts. Very interesting.

I gotta second you on that call. :D

Yes, they are Mennonites!

I'm not sure about the Mud Sale, just that it is all kinds of auctions, poultry, furniture, etc and flea market type selling also. We were there several hours and did not see it all.

We saw several things there that indicated the Amish are easing their rules a little. These people there are Amish but they use tractors on their farms. Some of the more strict ones left because of it.
