National Quilting Day Events - #NQDSI

It's that time of year again! Yes, March 16 is National Quilting Day, and there are events all month to celebrate.

The National Quilting Association has chosen the 2013 theme - "Celebrate America" - and the free pattern to go with it is suitable for donation to Quilts of Valor.

Of course, we should have a National Quilting Day Sew In on March 16.  Who's with me?

If you haven't joined us for a sew in before, it's easy!  If you do not have a Twitter account, just sign up.  It's free.  Once you have an account, join us in the #NQDSI room on Tweet Chat.

I have not had great luck accessing Tweet Chat on my phone (if you know how, please let us know) but I simply go to my Twitter feed and click on one of the tweets that says #NQDSI.  If I don't see one, I can go to the search feature and type in #NQDSI.  It will then bring up all the tweets with that hashtag.  Just refresh frequently to see the conversation.
