The Amish share many cultural objects with other Americans. They read newspapers, throw baseballs, and barbecue hamburgers on gas grills. Other aspects of their material culture are unique: windmills, lanterns, harnesses, and bonnets. Such artifacts serve both symbolic and substantive functions in Amish culture. They symbolize Amish identity but also shape daily life and social interaction. The Amish are known for making their own necessities for example the quilt. These quilts symbolize how much care and effort they put into everything. They depend on just hand made hard work and being precise with their work.
