FARM FEST 2025

Our 28th Anniversary of Farm Fest is coming up in July – the 11th & 12th!

 

The event will be held at the Holiday Inn at East State & Bell School Road, in Rockford.

We will be offering two options for sewing this year. Option “A” is work on your own project, or Option “B” is joining Inspector Black to solve the mystery quilt called “Lucky Ducky.” The mystery will unfold as we go along throughout the day on Friday. The quilt is approx. 50” x 64” and it uses four different fabrics. You will receive all the requirements for “Lucky Ducky” at sign up.

Fee - $110.00. There is a non-refundable deposit of $50.00 required upon registration. Final payment due by June 15th.  

Water & coffee will be provided throughout the weekend. You may bring a snack to share if you wish.

Quilters General Store has reserved a block of rooms for Friday night, July 11th if you wish to spend the night. Price is $117.00 plus tax. Cutoff date for reserving a room at that special price is June 11th, 2025, and then after that, the rooms will be released. Call the Holiday Inn at (815)398-2200 and ask for the front desk and tell them you are wanting to book a room in our “Block of rooms”.

All class related purchases as well as any purchases the days of Farm Fest will be 15% off
