Weaver Furniture Sales unveils the “Sunshine and Shadows” Quilt Garden as part of the Quilt Garden Tour in Elkhart and LaGrange County, Indiana.
Shipshewana, IN (PRWEB) June 05, 2012
After the success of last year’s “Amish Shadow” quilt garden, Weaver Furniture Sales, a Shipshewana furniture store specializing in handcrafted mission furniture, is proud to once again participate in the Quilt Garden Tour by creating the “Sunshine and Shadows” quilt garden. Featuring the celebrated light and dark design featured in classic Amish quilts, the “Sunshine and Shadows” quilt garden is composed of thousands of brilliant blooms arranged to create a classic design. The flowers have been planted and the garden is in full bloom, displaying a beautiful quilt in the Weaver garden. A sturdy viewing deck and informational plaque allow for a breathtaking viewing experience for summer visitors now through early October. “We are happy the blue birds enjoyed the garden first this year but we look forward to letting all of our visitors over the summer see the great work by Ida, Carolyn and Ruth,” said LeRoy, owner of Weaver Furniture Sales.The simple, bold designs of Amish quilts have charmed people for over a century, but the beautiful “quilt gardens” are a new phenomenon that have recently captured the popular imagination. Elkhart and LaGrange County, located in Northern Indiana’s Amish Country, have sponsored the Quilt Garden Tour for several years as part of the Heritage Trail, a 90-mile cultural driving tour that explores the back roads and notable spots of Amish Country.
Weaver’s “Sunshine and Shadows” quilt garden was designed by Shipshewana natives Carolyn Miller, Ida Weaver and Ruth Miller and is located on the property of Weavers. In 1989, LeRoy and Ida Weaver started Weaver Furniture Sales after converting the family dairy barn into a furniture showroom and offering locally-crafted solid wood furniture. Today, most of the Weaver’s eight children help run the business and have turned Weaver’s into an important part of the Shipshewana Amish community.
