National Quilting Day




What are you doing to celebrate National Quilting Day on Saturday? Are you or your quilting group doing anything special?


I'm heading to Fort Wayne, IN for the annual Gathering of Quilters. Organizers say they are planning for 1000 quilters that day! Wow! The event certainly has grown from its beginnings in Elkhart, IN in the early 1990s!


Stay tuned for a report on the event! In the meantime, Happy Stitching! Carol :)

  1. Sounds like you found a special way to celebrate National Quilting Day on Saturday. I hope you have a fun trip! Will you get together and sew, or is it a time to gather new ideas? You'll have to be sure and share any new ideas on your blog!

  2. The Gathering is mainly a time for quilters to connect and gather new ideas. No sewing goes on that day--just lots of quilts to look at, a speaker to inspire us, and vendors with quilt fabrics and new products to make us drool! It is fun to see so many quilters in one place.
