What Is National Quilting Day?

National Quilting Day started 27 years ago and is a day when quilters of all ages and experience levels celebrate their hobby. Some people simply spend the day quilting at home, while many get together in local groups to honor the well-loved hobby and share their favorite designs and fabrics.
