NAPPANEE - The Barns at Nappanee is taking the time to make community a priority.
In the months leading up to the Arts, Crafts & Music Festival, The Barns will be collecting fabric for the annual quilt give-away.
The quilt used to be made in the historic school house on the property. When the property was known as Amish Acres festival goers could watch a group of Amish women handstitch the finishing touches during the annual celebration of self-expression.
Since the doors of Amish Acres closed and The Barns at Nappanee opened, the project has taken a new head to involve their community, according to a provided news release.
Festival coordinator Abbigail Griffin said, “Community is about being one together, with our friends, and our neighbors. Without them what do we really have?”
To be a part of the community quilt, you can donate fabric to The Barns at Nappanee. Every quarter of a yard earns a chance to win the 2023 quilt. The theme this year is Farms and countryside to appreciate the simplicities and beauty of life around the city of Nappanee.
Fabric can be dropped off at The Barns at Nappanee, 1600 W. Market St., Nappanee, or it can be picked up. For more information, email Griffin at Abbigail@thebarnsatnappanee.com.
