Amish Auction 2009

The Amish Auction in Clarita OK was fantastic! We went mostly to see the quilts (me) and the food (both) and farm equipment (John). This was a combination - a John Deere pop engine powered ice cream churn!!

Even the Amish were admiring the quilts.

I wish I could have brought all of the quilts home but since I couldn’t John took some pictures for me. The Monterrey Quilt - Red & Blue Star framed by the Log Cabin quilt (middle below) - is one I plan on making this next year so I was excited to see it in ‘real life’ here.

I really liked the green and red Sampler quilt on the left below.

And the Savannah Medallion

Well, sometimes it was just hard to pick a favorite!

Wish I could say we brought home a couple of the quilts but we left before the quilt auction started at 12:30. We’d gotten up at 3:00 am to be able to go early and leave early to juggle the farm chores here. Betsy was not amused her milking was four hours late today but she’ll survive. If she had seen these quilts she’d have known the sacrifice was worth it. Or if she had tasted the homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, blackberry pie and/or noodles we did bring home with us. Poor Betsy all she got was milked late.
