“All Around the House” show to take place April 5-6
BENSENVILLE, Ill. (February 27, 2025) – Fischer Farm is calling on local quilters, vendors and volunteers to help make its two-day “All Around the House” Quilt Show a resounding success. The event, set for Saturday and Sunday, April 5-6, at 16W680 Old Grand Avenue in Bensenville, will showcase an array of quilt displays, feature a bustling barn sale and offer unique community experiences.
“We need quilts to display, dedicated vendors and enthusiastic volunteers to bring this celebration of quilting to life,” says Fischer Farm Manager Christine Shiel. “This show is not just about exhibiting beautiful quilts—it’s a community effort to honor a timeless craft, and everyone’s participation is vital.”
The show will display intricate quilts ranging from traditional designs to contemporary masterpieces. Attendees will have the opportunity to have a quilt appraised by an AQS-certified appraiser by appointment for a small fee. In addition, the event will feature a quilter’s barn sale where vendors can offer quilts, fabric blocks, patterns and more.
Shiel emphasizes the importance of community involvement: “We’re looking for quilts that tell a story, vendors who can share their craft and volunteers who can lend a hand. This is a chance for local talent and community spirit to shine.”
Interested parties are encouraged to email CShiel@BvilleParks.org or visit BvilleParks.org/QuiltShow for further details and registration information.
