I've always wanted to stop on Route 11 in PA to take a picture of the quilts hung outside at this shop. However, I'm usually with my husband driving on our way to SC - and I think he secretly speeds up when we go by! Well, this year my sister and our kids went to SC and we left the husbands at home. The beauty of travelling with my sister is that we stop at ANYTHING we want to see or take pictures of- not to mention we have a wonderful time, and we are laughing all the way!

I had never seen quilts sold this way. They look really nice. May be bargain prices, who knows?

We pass this way on the way to the hunting camp and we stopped in. There are two places along the highway that sell quilts hung out on a wash line like this. One of the places we stopped and we drove up behind the barn. In the small building, lit with kerosene lanterns on cloudy days, were tables and shelves stacked with quilts. The 'clerks' were barefoot. I think the area Amish/Mennonite ladies made the quilts, not just one family. All colors, styles. I remember a lot made of solid color fabrics. We bought 2 wall hanging size - a mariner's compass and one a bit smaller that I can see in my mind but can't name. One was $80 and the other $60. We bought them to hang in my husband's office.
