of all kinds...
and looking at houses, old houses particularly!!!
So... of course, I had to take photos of old houses (and buildings) along the way through Lancaster County (and beyond)...
The only problem being that I was seated in a bus...
so the houses often passed faster than my camera could click...
and there is a reflection on the window (even though I didn't use a flash).
Oh well... no matter! Lots of great old stone and brick structures!!!
Architectural styles are much different than here in upstate NY...
This building was so cool!!! It used to be an old hotel and now it is home to Ladyfingers Sewing Studio, a quilt shop owned by Gail Kessler....
and this building was in Intercourse...
I love the porches on these homes, too!
I feel a house quilt coming on!!!!!

P.S. Some of you asked about this quilt, "Guiding Stars", being raffled by our quilt guild, Quilt North. Firstly, the quilt is apparently a queen size quilt. The drawing is Sunday, October 18th at the Empire Quilt Fest which takes place October 17-18, 2009. Raffle tickets are available through me ($1 each or $5 for 6 and partial proceeds benefit local charities as well) or come see the show and pick up tickets then.
Thanks for the info about the quilt chances. I did have your address from when I won one of your giveaways, but I don't have it now. If you email it to me, I'd love to take some chances on this!
ReplyDeleteOh...just noticed that your quilt is being raffled the same weekend as MY quilt guild's quilt show...maybe that is a GOOD LUCK sign for me!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIf you think the houses in and around Lancaster are nice, you should hop over to Bellefonte, PA and Williamsport, PA. Bellefonte has Victorian Painted Ladies while Williamsport has lovely mansions. Huntington, PA has lovely homes too. Oh, and Phillipsburg too. All these places are within an hour to hour and a half drive from State College, PA. Which in July has a wonderful arts festival :)
ReplyDeleteLove house quilts, house blocks, unique houses, houses of all kinds. And wow what a stash of goodness you bought. I'm very very partial to all things polka dots.
ReplyDeletefrom one house quilt lover to another, don't you always feel a house quilt coming on? i do : ) or maybe you're just succumbing to that feeling and are finally going to make another one. i feel atleast two house quilts coming on in the next few weeks! can't wait to see yours.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to buy some raffle tickets...that quilt is AMAZING!!
