Sherry Burkhart's Starry Night Takes Best in Show
In 1895, Judge Joe and Mary Cunningham put their legacy gift plan into action by deeding “The Cedars” to the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church to be used as an orphanage—known today as Cunningham Children’s Home. The Cedars Society honors those who have made a legacy gift in their will or estate plan to help provide care for Cunningham youth long into the future.
Tommy's WWE quilt
You should have seen Tommy’s eyes as they fell upon the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) quilt hanging in the closet at Cunningham’s Spiritual Life Center. He had just been to a WWE event the weekend before at State Farm Center and when he saw the quilt, he was overjoyed and speechless as his jaw dropped open in shock!
She saw the sign
"God has a plan for this quilt," Sharon Minnes said when she dropped off her auction quilt for the 19th Annual Festival of Quilts.

Thank you for taking a chance with us!
We could have gone virtual with this year's Festival of Quilts as we did in 2020 but we decided to take a chance and to make it a hybrid event. And we are so thankful you took a chance with us!
Pandemic Quilting selected Best in Show
There have been many firsts for Cunningham Children’s Home with the 17th Annual Festival of Quilts. It’s the first time the event has been both online and in-person at the same time. It’s the first time we have had more than 200 auction quilts. And it’s the first time The Cedars Society has judged our show quilts.
