National Quilting Day is recognized on the third Saturday in March each year; this year marks the 22nd annual celebration.
What will you do to celebrate? Visit your local quilt shop and buy some fabric? Start a new project? Invite friends over for a quilting bee? Teach someone to quilt who doesn't know how? Or how about organizing your sewing space?
All of those ideas sound like fun...well, except for organizing your sewing space--that sounds like a lot of work to me!
We're expecting a rainy Saturday here in the Valley. It's also the weekend for the annual Highland County Maple Festival...which I usually attend.
I can't decide whether to drive over three mountains in the rain to get there...and meet a friend and her husband from my hometown who will attend for the first time this year.
Or...stay home, get cozy, and sew and celebrate National Quilting Day.
I guess whatever I decide I'll post pictures on Monday. What do you think I'll do?

Hummm..You love adventure so I think you may seriously entertain going to the festival to meet your friends...but then again, being cozy and sewing sounds very inviting too! :) I don't have a car today; Laura has the van, she is babysitting one of the grands at their house so I think I will stay in....(but the quilt shop is soooo close I could get a nice walk in and visit it couldn't I:) HOPEFULLY I'll get a little sewing done here and there as I try and catch up on some of the cleaning..(Since I was blessed to go to PA for another quilt show AND enjoy seeing my sister too...its time to buckle down and do chores.:))

Too bad I didn't know about this! I could have cut a couple of strips for my daughter's quilt, anyway. Can't wait to see your pictures.
