So today is Worldwide Quilting Day. I decided to do some investigation…
According to the National Quilt Association, National Quilting Day originated in Kentucky and went nationwide in 1992. The Fabric Shop Network seem to have decided it should be worldwide and have a website to prove it at WorldwideQuiltingDay.com…
So there you are!
And what am I doing to celebrate?
Yesterday I went to Joann‘s to buy some thread. Of course it being Joann’s I went on the wrong day to get the thread I wanted on sale…
But I found something I needed on clearance.
For $1.97 how could I resist?
And then while I was in line to pay this caught my eye…
Generation Q Magazine is always an interesting read and while I was leafing through it in the line I found something very interesting…
So I had to buy one didn’t I?
I mean how could I resist?
AND in the same issue there was this.
My good friend Cheryl…
Definitely worth the money, even though, it being a magazine, my 60% coupon wasn’t valid…
You have to love Joann’s don’t you?
And today?
I have been printing handouts, making kits and generally getting things in order for International Quilt Festival/Chicago coming to a city near me on Thursday THIS WEEK!!
A Very Happy Worldwide Quilting day to you!
(The thread goes on sale at 40% off tomorrow…)
Hi Catherine, don’t know if you remember me or not, but I was seated at your dinner table on the cruise in Nov, last year. Hope to see you in Chicago.
Jean,That was a great cruise! Please come and search me out in the classroom area between classes… IQF will be fun.
Catherine, did you buy the DVD??? I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get started quilting with a walking foot!
Bev, Thanks for the recommendation… however watching the DVD is no substitute for stitching…
