Thsi information was published in an online newsletter that I received.

March 19th is NATIONAL QUILTING DAY!


National Quilting Day is officially the third Saturday of March due to a resolution passed in June 1991 by members of the National Quilting Association. The NQA offers a free pattern in honor of the day. This year’s pattern is titled Build Your Own Log Cabin and makes a 64" square quilt top. Go to www.nqaquilts.org for the pattern and to find out more about the association.

Thank you for the link.

Sounds good to me!!! Any excuse is a good one if I get to sew more!!!

Wow lots of information there. Thank you for sharing this information.

ooooooo will be trying to talk hubby into letting me hide out for the day with fabric and sewing. probably wont happen because he has trouble handling the kids by himself. (rolling eyes)

Cool! Thank you so much for sharing the link.

Thanks for spreading the news. One large quilt guild near me sponsers (sp) a Quilter's Day Out on that Sat. They have demos, show and tell, fat quarter trade, pattern and magazine trades, games, everyone gets a nice door prize, snacks and lunch and we have a great time. Anyone in SE Ohio who would like more info can PM me.

We are very excited here about the NQD event!!
This is a pic of one of the three we did last year. The guild opened a day of working on these to the public specifically if they served or had someone serving in the armed forces. We had a very good turnout. We gifted one each to Jacobetti House (retires home), VVA 237 (Vietnam War Veterans) and our local American Legion.

Thanks, I saved it!

DD and I just made a date to shop hop around here. I am so lucky to have more than a few in my area.
