The official National Quilting Day is Saturday, March 21, but you can incorporate a bit of quilting into any day this month!
Read an E-book Week (first week of March) – See what’s available via the Libby app (from the public library) or check your e-reader for any quilting books you may have overlooked.
National Button Week (third week of March) – Sort your buttons by color or size, sew on missing buttons or do button crafts with the littles.
March is also Women’s History Month. Read or watch a biography about your favorite Sewlebrity. Read a novel by Jennifer Chiaverini, Marie Bostwick. or any other quilt fiction writer that strikes your fancy.
Try out a new technique – 8 at a time HSTs, 4 at a time FG, EPP, foundation paper piecing, applique, flanged quilt binding.
Have a play date with your sewing machine – play with the fancy stitches and fancy feet that are gathering dust because you use a 1/4″ foot most of the time. If you have a vintage machine with mechanical attachments, spent time learning how to attach and use them properly. There are plenty of YouTube video tutorials on using various zigzag attachments, buttonhole attachments and the like.
As for me, I have all the attachments out for my Singer 301A. We have a play date this afternoon.
