We all know that EVERY day is a Quilt Day… but…
Today is extra special.. as everyone quilts today!
National Quilting Day sort of started in 1989 when the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society organized a “Quilter’s Day Out” on the third Saturday of March. Then in 1991, a group called the National Quilting Association (which is no longer around) thought the idea was so great, they decided to make it a National event.
They called it National Quilting Day and the first one was March of 1992. Since we quilters will take ANY reason to celebrate it as gone global and quiltmakers around the world celebrate! Read a bit more at The Quilt Alliance
For some reason, many 3rd Saturday’s in March I’m on the road traveling, one year I was teaching this so THAT was fun!
But it means I can’t zoom zoom at a machine all day, so today, I’m in the car, and I’ll be stitching on SOMETHING and sharing it at my Facebook group! (So Join me for a online Quilt Day of sharing!)

Today I made 2 blocks from the Splendid Sampler. That means I have 7 to go. Happy Quilting Day to everyone.
Happy Quilting Day to you Pat. Gloomy here. Been trying to organize sewing room–by color etc. Gave it up for today.
I received my In the Summertime fabric, from your website, on Wednesday and finished all my blocks yesterday. My blocks for Let’s Go Camping are done, so I’m working on the NQC Challenge Blocks. Thank you for keeping us busy.
My Wisconsin guild celebrated today with sewing together on our projects. And lunch together and much laughter. what could be more fun!
All caught up on my Summertime blocks and Lets Go Camping. Today is work on bags day! Luv my hobby! Wish I could work in my garden tho..lol
Hi Pat have a great day in travels and car quilting projects. I am catching up on In the Summer Time Blocks today, working on #4 hope to get all of them done today. Then I have 1 to do in Gone Camping quilt. My girlfriend is coming out this week after work one night to teach me paper piecing for the quilt we are doing at the local quilt store, its a neighborhood quilt with the houses, church, trees, etc. Its is a challenging piece for me. But I love learning something new.
Thanks for the write Pat, being new to quilting its good to understand the history, Happy Quilting Day
Awesome Joyce!
Happy quilting Pat. I’m working on my garden this morning but plan to do some quilting this afternoon.
