National Quilting Day

pq — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:45:49 +0000

Hey, did you know this Saturday (March 19th) is National Quilting Day? The NQA site says the day is dedicated to “fellowship, fun, [and] outreach”. They have a free pattern to celebrate the day here. If you are lucky enough to live near or be visiting the International Quilt Study Center and Museum you can get in free and there are some lectures, too. Check out their flyer here. Oh and a lot of shops are having sales or hosting other events to celebrate. Check out your own shop or visit the sale at Fabric.com.

So what do you plan to do? Leave me a comment and let me know! I hope to be working on quilting The Husband’s quilt – the one made from the kiddo’s artwork. It will get finished…eventually!!

On vacation I had the thrill of getting to spend a little time at the Virginia Quilt Museum in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Me at the Virginia Quilt Museum

Going inside - wee! Sorry, no pics allowed indoors.

It was *fabulous*! I saw some amazing examples of historic quilts.

You can check out the book I bought from the museum here at Amazon.

Other places we visited – Luray Caverns – Sandy Point State Park – Massanutten Resort.

Thank you for listening!

Are you a Lost fan?

We’re closing in on the end of May Mayhem! Keep up the great work, everyone! I’m so blessed to have dedicated quilters virtually beside me during this challenge.

Check out the Virginia Quilt Museum – I get to visit it this summer!

Have a listen to the show. Thanks for visiting
