Saturday is National Quilting Day - the 25th Anniversary celebration. It's my favorite day of the year - right after National Waffle Day. (That's next week so mark your calendars for the 25th.) Begun in 1989 by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society as a "Quilter's Day Out" on the 3rd Saturday of March, the celebration was taken to a national level by the National Quilting Association in 1991. The first National Quilting Day was observed on March 21, 1992 and it quickly grew into an international celebration of quilt-makers and quilt lovers.
