Free Quilt Shows for Worldwide Quilting Weekend!

Saturday March 19 is Worldwide Quilting Day; a day for quilters to celebrate quilting with their local quilt shops. Quilting has become a pastime with creative makers worldwide. Show your love of quilting by using #WWQuiltingDay on social media. You can see more of what's happening on Worldwide Quilting Day at http://worldwidequiltingday.com/

To celebrate International Quilting Weekend, The Quilt Show, the web series hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, is opening their doors to everyone!  For three special days, March 18-20, you can access over 200 shows by some of the world's leading teachers and quilt artists!  And the sponsors have donated over $11,000 worth of prizes!  My show is episode 504, about curved Log Cabins and quilt-as-you-sew.

We'd love to have you browse our catalog, too, and any orders placed during International Quilt Weekend will get free shipping! This offer is good through midnight your time Sunday night.  *Free shipping is for US orders only. Free shipping will not appear in your online order totals, but  Your order will be credited for the shipping adjustment when your order is processed by Helga or Sherry in our Customer Service Dept. Your credit card will not be charged until your order is ready for shipment.

Because I'm a star member, I can watch The Quilt Show any time, so I'm hoping to be cheering on our Iowa State Cyclones in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday!  We were so excited when we only had to drive 5 hours to see them play in Florida earlier this year, and then we got close enough for pictures! Here I am with Georges Niang, and Richard is with Monte Morris. I'm in the smallest photo with Monte's proud mom.

Go, Cyclones!
