AMISH QUILT DESIGN
The Amish people of NORTH AMERICA maintain a simple way of life with few luxuries and a strong sense of community links.
Language: Members usually speak a German dialect called Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsch). High German is used during worship. They learn English at school.
Education: Schools are one-room buildings run by the Amish. Formal education beyond Grade 8 is discouraged, although many youth are given further instruction in their homes after graduation.
Appearance: Men follow the laws of the Hebrew Scriptures with regards to beards. They do not grow mustaches, because of the long association of mustaches with the military. Clothing: Men usually dress in a plain, dark colored suit. Women usually wear a plain colored dress with long sleeves, bonnet and apron.
Modern conveniences: Vehicles: With very few exceptions, Old Order Amish congregations do not allow the owning or use of automobiles or farm tractors. However, they will ride in cars when needed.
Electrical devices: They do not use electricity, or have radios, TV sets, personal computers, computer games, etc.
Telephones: In-home telephones are not normally allowed. Some families have a phone remote from the house.
Amish quilts are an expression of frugality (using resources with little waste). They have a practical purpose, but the groups of Amish woman who make them are also able to socialise and relax.
Quilting is a community activity.
