The Amish Cook from Oasis Newsfeatures

Hi, I am working on making a quilt. it is made out of War Between The States reproduction fabric.  the pattern is my version of what The US Sanitary Commission gave out to Union Soldiers. I am sewing this  quilt on Olga, my Pfaff 1939 treadle machine.

My question is whether to hand quilt or machine quilt. I spoke with a young lady at the Amish bakery near Dalton, WI. and she said that their group always hand quilted. I asked her why and she couldn't come up with an answer. I got the idea that they always did it that way. Oh and she is from a conservitive Old Order community.

Anyway, I wonder if Lovina or any one else would have any ideas on this. I am willing to hand quilt the quilt and could machine quilt too. I know how to do free motion quiltin on treadles w/o dropping feed dogs. :-) which ever way would be best.

This is interesting. I appload Vernon's fighting back. I hope to go to his store on Saturday to see the store and buy some product.

Hi, will ordering Lovina's and Elizabeth's (and Kevin!!!) photo cookbooks on Amazon be helpful like ordering the 6-pack here?

Hi, ever since I saw the photo of Lovina's mum's hand crank dough maker, I had to have one!  Any idea on where I can get one? I've checked ebay, amazon.com, Lehmann's.

Any help appreciated!!!!
