Quilt Shopping in Lancaster County

One of Lancaster County’s trademarks is the world-famous quilts often carefully stitched by Amish and Mennonite women and other members of the area’s talented artisan communities. What originally began as a practical object within the lifestyle of the Amish has evolved into a world-renowned form of art. Lancaster quilts also make the perfect gift for friends and family back home or to take home for yourself and your own home as a personal memento of your adventures here. In every corner of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, you will discover quilts in all shapes, designs, sizes, and colors. As you search for the perfect quilt to suit your taste, you’ll discover the signature Lancaster County charm of these quaint, family-owned stores and Amish markets.

The Old Country Store is a historic building located in Intercourse that is famous for its selection of fabric, crafts, kitchenware, and fine quilts. In Bird-in-Hand, stop by Fisher’s Handmade Quilts for affordable quilts or visit the Creative Home Shoppe for locally-made Amish products. Find thousands of bargains and activities at Green Dragon Farmers Market and Auction in Ephrata or browse dozens of country shops and restaurants at Kitchen Kettle Village.
