Quilting is a later addition to Amish crafts that has undergone various style changes over time. Quilts are made in the Amish community for such occasions as the birth of babies and weddings, as friendship gifts and to sell to raise money. Quilting is more often done in the winter months, when there is less outdoor work to be done. Quilts may be crafted with colors or materials that the Amish don't use, but sell to non-Amish. Quilted purses are popular Amish crafts.
The clothes that the Amish make fit into the criteria of a craft because they are not modern society's norm and are made by hand. One garment that may be seen for sale is the apron. Aprons made by the Amish may have pieced tops like in quilting. Pockets sewn onto the apron may incorporate several colors.
Items created via Amish woodworking include cabinets, wagons, sheds and furniture. Types of furniture the Amish make include chests, bird houses, porch furniture, indoor furniture and picnic tables.
Baskets woven by the Amish can be used practically to hold items such as fruit or yarn or purely as a decorative statement. Baskets may be stained or unstained. Patterns for Amish baskets number in the hundreds, and handles may have leather, or even be designed to swivel.
Tools the Amish make for working with animals include dog leashes, dog collars, bridles and harnesses. These may be crafted in the traditional way, or may be made with newer materials such as nylon and colors that the Amish don't use themselves such as red, yellow or blue.
