In addition to the American Quilters' Society show at the Convention Center, I spent some time at the nearby Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum to see a wonderful collection of Amish quilts. It was a spectacular display and I'm so glad I went. I was happy to pay my admission fee to help preserve these treasures.
Sadly, the museum is closing after this exhibit. Read more about that here. It's a shame that my state's governor feels it's OK to give tax breaks to the natural-gas companies while cutting funding for arts and education.
Off my soapbox....Here are a couple of shots that I took inside the museum. The pictures are nice, but it was a glorious thing to see in person.

That is very sad. What a great exhibit of quilts! And look at the ceiling too!
I had never been there that is too bad it is closing. When I have been to the area I was in Intercourse at the Old Country Store - is there another quilt museum there next to it - I feel I have been to a quilt museum but not the one you show.

Beautiful simplicity!
It sounds like it was a fabulous chance to getaway and see some beautiful pieces of work. Perhaps a private company will pick up and take over on the museum. It would be a shame to loose out on viewing such beauty.
