This Saturday is Worldwide Quilting Day for 2021! According to the good folks at Fab Shop Network, the trade association for independent retailers in the fabric and quilting industry:

“Worldwide Quilting Day is the time each year that we celebrate quilting around the world and explore the ways that it binds us together. This event, held each year on the third Saturday in March, was created to connect quilters and the shops that support them.”

Originally called “National Quilting Day”, this holiday for the quilting community was first established back in 1991 at the 22nd annual show of the National Quilting Association. It was held in Lincoln, Nebraska and it was proposed that a national day dedicated to quilting be established. Since then, this crafty holiday has been expanded worldwide and is celebrated by special quilt shop events, quilting shows, classes, museum exhibitions, and of course, lots and lots of quilting.
