National Quilting Day - Carole Gilbert

Just a little advance reminder that CAMEO will celebrate National Quilting day on March 17, 2012. Since that is St. Patrick’s Day, look for something green as a theme for the day.

National Quilting Day is the day we meet to enjoy one another, meet someone new, and commemorate our favorite thing to do. What better way to spend a whole day than chatting with your CAMEO sisters at the sewing machine or over the quilt sandwich table with a box full of safety pins!

You can work on a UFO, make something for charity, start something new, work on the CAMEO Challenge, or just sit and get to know your fellow quilters better, if you wish! Anything goes! There will be a donation basket and we ask that you put a dollar in the basket to help defray the cost.

Mark your calendars for the premier event of the quilting season! Hope to see you there 
 

National Quilting Day was sponsored by the National Quilt Association and proclaimed by Congress to be the third Thursday of March each year. The date changes each year.

 Also, it is a celebration of the act of quilting so is National Quilting Day rather than National Quilt day. One of the objectives of the NQA is to devote as much time that day to quilting and the NQA requests that guilds across the USA engage in some kind of quilting activity during that Saturday in March.

It is a day of fun and camaraderie and a time to work on whatever project you choose.  The National Quilt Day Subcommittee of the Program Committee plans the day.  It is free to members.  Just come and celebrate quilting and being a quilter.
