National Quilters Day

"National Quilting Day
I wanted to remind you that tomorrow, March 21, is National Quilting Day, according to the National Quilting Association. They have devoted this day to the home. They are sharing a nice pattern for a block called Welcome Home, which is sporting a pieced house in the block's center surrounded by a star and Four-Patch design. To get a printable copy of the pattern, go to www.nqaquilts.org/NatQuiltDay.php .
The NQA recommends this pattern be used by groups to make quilts to help those who are suffering due to the national economic and home crisis. Many people are in danger of losing their homes during these financial hard times. If you don't have special plans, maybe you'd like to start one of these quilts yourself or with a few of your quilting friends. "

The above quoted paragraphs came from Quilter's World Newsletter. While I am not much of a quilter (I can do simple quilted projects and for some reason can quilt well on very small sections like clothing) I am always looking for ways to turn my beloved fabric into something that helps someone. Since I have more of a fabric stash than most shops and more UFO's (unfinished objects of fabric art) I need to find ways to utilize the stash and my talents. I think I may just give this pattern and this project a try. Join me!
