Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

A quilt is not only a comfortable bedspread: it is also a piece of art. The artisans that create our quilts select high quality vibrant materials and arrange them into an attractive work of art. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your taste.

Though the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to guarantee tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both heat as well as outstanding washing outcomes.

You will find our quilts to be remarkably generous in length and width. Most of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams.
