Did you know that March 19th is National Quilting Day?? yep, my favorite LQS just sent me an email and they are having a special sale that day and a giveaway too! so be sure to check in with your favorite LQS to see whats going on there! I love a sale!

Thanks ,I'll do that!!!

My favorite holiday. :-D

It's also my husband's birthday! I wonder if he would like to celebrate by going fabric shopping...somehow I doubt it!

yea a great holiday

that's awesome. Never heard of it. I'm celebrating it from now on though!

Mine, too!

Thanks for sharing. Here in Ireland 2011 is the Year of the Crafter.

I wonder if I can get the day off????

Why no, I had no idea!! It is the end of finals week and I will definately take that day to go to the lqs!! All day as a matter of fact!! Thank you!! :D

What a great Holiday!

Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll take the day off work and pop into the LQS.

I agree! Perfect way to celebrate!

Wonder if I can get that as a "religious" holiday :?

Shall have to celebrate that day!

Did not know that, thanks for the info. Actually it is a very important day for me-my first grandson was born on March 19th three years ago!

That is the day that Quilta Claus brings gifts to all good quilters.

What a great day. Thanks for sharing next time I go to my LQS I'll ask.

I have been looking forward to Quilter's Day Out here in Kentucky.

It is my husbands birthday too!!! I don't think my
husband will want anything to do with fabric on his day.

Maybe we better call JoAnn's and REMIND them it will soon be coming up! If they have nothing PLANNED, maybe that will prompt them! Glad you told us or I would not have known we have that special day!

It's also my b-day. You can take me fabric shopping. :lol:

My local quilt guild celebrates Nation Quilt Day every year with a great gathering of members. Over the years there have been wonderful quilting tutorials, sit and sews, games, and, of course lots of good food. Last year those that wanted to, worked on our raffle quilt. There are always suggestions of what to do and this year we will be making charity quilts. Lots of laughs and lots of fun. Quilting rocks ;>}

Hiya Lace: Yep, knew it was Nat'l Quilting Day. It's always right around my BD (the 16th of March) plus, now it's also during my spring break from school. I plan to celebrate big this year--headed off to a retreat from March 11 thru March 18!

My LQS always has an open house on March 19th. My DH thinks it is silly that a quilt shop that is open 7 days a week has an open house. What does HE know!!!

Oh how I wish that was true !! I have a list Quilta Clause.

Thanks for the reminder!

Had to tell DH about Quilta CLaus. LOL Maybe he'll get the hint - hahahha

Hi Earlylace
I too live in New Jersey - where is this store located? Right now I only have Joann's to buy material from and am looking to buy some more material - last time I made trip out to PA
Thanks
Normabeth

Does this "holiday" give us freedom to buy what we want or just to quilt all day and not have to cook or clean? I'm for all of the above. LOL

Our guild is sponsoring a quilting weekend (Fri,Sat, Sun, no nights) with continuous quilting for self or community quilts, mini classes to teach special techniques, food, fellowship, games, sounds like we are going to have fun.

Also my daughter's birthday!

I vote for All the above :thumbup:

Putting this on my calendar & checking the LQS. :thumbup:

I may celebrate early with the Dallas Quilt Show. <big grin>

We'll be on our annual quilting retreat that day. I can't think of a better way to celebrate, can you? :lol:

Awesome!!! Who would have thought!! I'll definitely mark that one on my calendar.

My quilt guild is doing a Quilts of Valor day of sewing . Last year we made 54 tops. All where sent out. If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area and want to come you are welcome. Just PM me.

have not heard of it before, but I am always looking for a reason to take a day off of work and quilt!!!

That is what i was thinking! taking the day off! whoohooo! LOL
