My DH and I went to the Kutztown (PA) Folk Festival today. I checked out all the quilts in their "Quilt Barn" and stopped by the auction later on. They just happened to be auctioning one of the First Place winners. It went for $11,000!!! Quite a roar and round of applause went up from the crowd! It was a gorgeous hand-appliqued and hand quilted full -size quilt. The auctioneer mentioned that the quiltmaker also had two other winning quilts in other categories. I wish I could've gotten her name. We also enjoyed an ox-roast sandwich (really beef), fresh squeezed lemonade, and hand dipped ice cream cones! They have entertainment, singing and dancing, etc. which reflect the Pennsylvania Dutch lifestyle. Lots of PA dutch crafts, antique farm equipment, and lots of vendors. Great day!
