A ride in the country

Thursday we arrived in Lancaster County.








The markets in Lancaster were beautiful.....















We were very privileged to be the Last group to tour the quilt museum as it has closed down.
I'm in love with all things Amish now.....can feel a new quilt coming on......















Saturday was spent at the quaint little town of Intercourse, Pennsylvania. The heart of Amish country.





Lots of quilts and crafty shops, so there was a boost to the economy from a small Aussie contingent.

It was fabulous to see the Amish driving in their buggies, riding on their scooters and working their farms with horse teams......They don't like having their photos taken...as this is a graven image...so we had to be sneaky to get our pictures.
The girls were a bit obsessed with the clothes lines...so had me snapping away!

















The afternoon was spent having a cooking class...making whoopee pies....very yummy...like a large soft Monty Carlo!





-Well thats all for now..I have to stitch.....we have set up the Cottage on the Hill, Washington DC..in the lobby of the Omni, Shoreham Hotel
