Quilts of Shady Maple

Family Farm Quilts began in 1983, in the basement of the Amish-Mennonite home of John and Ann Lapp and their eight children. In time the business expanded, the children grew up, and the shop moved to a larger location. Today there are two shops seperately owned by two of the sons.

Handmade Quilts

At Family Farm Quilts of Shady Maple, we offer a wide variety of top quality quilts ranging from old fashioned patchwork and homespun styles, to applique designs, and to a line of Victorian patterns. Because we own our quilts we are able to offer you some of the best prices in Lancaster County.

Managing the quilt making process is still Ann's job. She chooses patterns, colors, and fabrics, and sends them out to over two hundred Amish and Mennonite ladies. These women piece, applique, and quilt hundreds of handmade quilts and wallhangings each year.

Amish Made Baskets

Home Decorations

Our shop includes many other crafts made by Amish, Mennonite, and other local artists. Fabric and non-fabric crafts, Amish items, and beautiful Amish-made baskets. We continue to add new items and seasonal displays, especially at Christmas.

You will want to be sure to take time to include a visit to our shop the next time you come to Lancaster County. We are located along Route 23, one half mile east of Blue Ball, PA in the Shady Maple Smorgasboard complex, on the lower level of the Country Home Furniture store. We look forward to seeing you soon.
