Sentimental Stitches

I couldn’t resist stopping to watch (and listen) to the chickens and roosters running around this Amish family’s farm, right on a major highway.

I spent a lot of time at Lolly’s. What a feast for the eyes. If you can’t put fabrics together for a quilt there - no problem! Check out just some of the beautiful kits they have. You too can have a little piece of Shipshewana with just a phone call and the swipe of a debit/credit card. Since I’m not dressed yet I don’t want any of you calling there before I drive over and pick up the kits I can’t live without.

You will not find a nicer family owned quilt shop than Lolly’s Fabrics. Kris does a fantastic job or choosing fabrics, putting together beautiful display and kitting the most wonderful designs in sizes we can all accomplish and be proud of. All of this while raising 5 wonderful children and giving back to the community in a multitude of ways. She had good teachers. Her parents, Alvin and Elsie Miller work tirelessly to make the Davis Mercantile a place where there is something for the entire family if you come to visit Shipshewana. For all of that and more, we are grateful beyond words.

So much for a short note!
