Log Cabin Barn Raising Quilt This stunning new quilt was hand quilted by an Old Order Amish Woman from Mid- Michigan. It is made with an unusual choice of fabrics that would look great in a hunter’s dream room or maybe a log cabin get-away, and would make a great family heirloom to be shared for many years to come.   Our Price: $125.00 Was: $250.00       50% off until October 15th   Quick Links: Home Page Create an Account FaceBook F.A.Qs Newsletter Archive New Items Our Complete Catalog Restocked Items Recipe Archive Specials	Welcome to Autumn!      Yep, it’s that time of year again.  I  can almost taste the Cider  and Donuts when I  look at the beautiful fall colors.  (Okay, so I’ve already had some cider and donuts..lol)  We’d love to hear some of your favorite things about fall.  If you have something you’d like to share, please email us or post it to our new dis- cussion board on FaceBook.        Come Visit with us on FaceBook    We’ve just started a Porch Swing Memories page on FaceBook, and we hope to see you there.  If you don’t have a FaceBook account, that’s okay, you can just peak in to see what’s happen- ing, and if you do have an account, you can join in the discussions, write on our wall, show off some of your personal pictures in the photo album or participate in a poll.      It’s been neat to see some of you already on the page.  Don’t we have pretty customers!

Longaberger Basket & Homestead Events

Hi, Everybody,

Some of you have been asking about future basket events and happenings at the Homestead.  We aren’t affiliated in any way with Longaberger, but I will post some links that might be helpful to those looking for information about these events.

For Homestead Events, including their Tree Lightening,  click here.

For Basket Festival Events on the road click here.

Many of you were specifically asking about another Longaberger Basket event in Michigan, but it doesn’t look like that will be happening this year.  We are also disappointed that they weren’t able to make it back to Michigan, but I’m sure that we can all understand what a huge undertaking it must be to move all those people and products from place to place. 

I hope the links will help you find the information you need to go make some special memories.  And don’t forget to check the Basket Events website for a calendar of Bus Tours, Bingos and other fun basket activities posted by folks from around the country.
