Sheep to Clothing to Quilts will return to the Illinois Amish Heritage Center on Saturday, April 26. The event will feature sheep and alpaca shearing demonstrations and cleaning, dyeing, and spinning the wool into yarn. Weavers will demonstrate weaving with looms and quilting. 

Visitors will be invited to try their hand at many activities. Children can learn basic sewing skills.  Additionally, there will be games and activities, pony cart rides, and a petting zoo.

A delicious farmers breakfast of pancakes, old-fashioned liverwurst, and grilled sausage will be offered for a fee starting at 7:00 a.m. The event is from 9:00 - 3:00. 

Visitors can buy lunch, which will include lamb kabobs (a big hit in 2024!) along with other food options. A bake sale featuring homemade bread, cakes, and pies along with homemade ice cream will also be available.
