The Amish did not bring the skill of quilt-making with them from Europe, but learned it from their non-Amish neighbours.

Amish "bookplates" are handmade sheets of paper with an inscription written in German in the traditional "Fraktur" script and a coloured design, which were stuck in the front of Bibles and other religious books to show the ownership.

Switzerland is also famous for its folk music. Do you want to hear some typical swiss music?
