In 1991, the National Quilting Association proclaimed the third Saturday of March to be National Quilting Day. This was to be a day to celebrate the tradition of quilting and remembering the contributions quilters have made to their family and community.
Don’t you just love the Internet? Information at your finger tips!!
I subscribe to a number of Blogs – Some Food related, and a number of Sewing/Quilt related.
One of the Blogs I follow – Craftsy – has both food and sewing/quilting as their topics.
Last week we enjoyed some decent weather. I spent a couple of days working at a vendor booth at the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA.
Setting up Fabric Café’s Booth – Hang the Quilt Samples. It is nice to see the completed quilts for the tops that I pieced: Chevron Pattern (Pink/Green/Black Floral) and Snowball (Red/Cream/Black Chickens/Roosters) are two of them.
This may have been a short month, but I was busy. The weather has continued with temperatures lower than average and more snow than usual. We’ve had temps in the 60’s to tease us of Spring, followed by snow and even thunderstorms.
Quilting For Good – The weather allowed us to meet this month. It was good to get together and sew on quilts for Mary’s Center. I was able to finish quilting a quilt someone had previously started. I’m hoping to work on my free motion quilting, but this one I just did straight-line stitching using a curvy decorative stitch.
I don’t know about you, but I love the Internet for finding Tips, Tutorials, Free Patterns and new Projects. OK, I have plenty of projects going – Don’t Ask How Many, just trust me I have a lot!
Here are some interesting items I’ve found – I’ve not yet tried any of them, but am thinking about adding them to my To-Be-Done-One-Day List. If you try them before I do, please come back & leave a comment.
