At times, we think that our Amish quilters put all their dreams of a less “plain” life into their gorgeous and often flamboyant appliqued quilts. Even after looking closely at hundreds of Lancaster applique quilts we continue to be amazed by the freshness of design and coloring we see in new quilts. We also see a great diversity in quality of applique quilts and limit ourselves to showing and offering only top quality very well made quilts.
Many of the quilts shown here are marked indicating that they are “available now” for shipment –we are usually able to ship quilts so marked no later than the next business day. Other quilts shown have been sold, but often we are able to find a very similar well-made quilt that can be shipped quickly. Alternatively we can arrange for a similar quilt to be custom made.
Take your time looking through our appliqué gallery, there is a lot to see. We try to show respects for the quilts and the quilters by properly showing them. If you have questions about any quilt, please call or write to us.

Truly elegant! The Calla Garden is the most recent appliqué design from C Jean Horst designs. Here is a garden of Calla lilies, surrounded with tulips and 3 dimensional rosebuds as well as bunches of delicious looking grapes. This pattern was designed for a customer who loved the Petal Showcase and asked that I use calla lilies in her design. We loved her idea too and now offer it as a regular pattern. The quilt has 8 stitches per inch and is well quilted with feather designs and cross hatching sections. All hand appliquéd! So special! There is a special decorative braid used to accent the border and the central motif.
