Cunningham said admission is a suggest $10 per adult, which will go towards the 953 youth and families the home serves annually.

"We’ve got everything from timeless vintage quilts to bold, beautifully designed new pieces — each with its own story. Add in our unique centerpieces and gift shop items, and there’s truly something for everyone. It’s all coming together to make the event feel special from start to finish," said Cunningham Events and Volunteer Specialist Colleen Combes in a statement.

According to Cunningham Children's Home, the festival celebrates the legacy of the United Women in Faith from all around Illinois who have crafted quilts for Cunningham kids since 1895.
