Emma takes pride in welcoming you into her home to
browse, to buy or even just to admire the lovely handmade quilts found in
Witmer Quilt Shop. There are modern patterns, traditional patterns,
antique quilts and Emma's own designs, and if you can't find a quilt you
like, Emma also creates custom quilts. Just show her a picture and
pick the colors from her fabric samples!
(It takes 4-6 months for most custom quilts.)

- "Indian Wedding Ring"--26 "wig wam"
(triangle) pieces make up each eye or melon section of the "wedding ring" in this
design. It is a very difficult pattern and over 1600 triangles
are used for the entire quilt. It is also called "Pickle
Dish," with the triangles resembling the oval cut glass of a
pickle dish!
- "Wreath of Roses"--Emma's newest original design,
inspired by the roses in her garden!
- "To Your Heart's Content"--an appliqued quilt with
80 hearts, 80 tulips and 80 leaves!

What sets Witmer Quilt Shop apart from others is the
stock of antique quilts, many going back to the late 1800s. She has 125
antique quilts, all in good shape for their age. "There is a charm about the old quilts that the new ones just don't
have. They're more one of a kind," says Emma. |
