| Two hidden valleys--one in Pennsylvania; the other in Virginia--
held vibrant communities and quilting traditions during the close of
the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. How do the
quilts made by the Amish and Mennonites in these tucked-away places
compare? The big Valley in Pennsylvania's Mifflin County was (and
continues to be) the home of the three Old Order Amish groups. The
quilts from this valley were made mostly from dress fabrics (solid
colors without prints). They are strong and bold with occasional
flashes of powerful color. Precisely pieced but more subdued quilts
were made at the time by the Mennonites of the Shenandoah Valley. Copyright 1999. | |
