We keep talking about International Quilting Weekend, but did you know that it all started with National Quilting Day 25 years ago? According to the Quilt Alliance, in 1989, the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society organized a "Quilter's Day Out" on the third Saturday of March.  In 1991, the National Quilting Association was so impressed with the results they voted to take it to the National level.

The first National Quilting Day was observed in 1992 and has grown into a global celebration for all quiltmakers and quilt lovers.  In recognition of the global celebration, The Quilt Show is sponsoring the International Quilting Weekend.   The Quilt Show, hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, captures the world of quilting in TV Quality Shows and teaching classrooms where you can learn new skills, be inspired and even be entertained.   

More on the history of National Quilting day can be found at the Quilt Alliance.

At The Quilt Show, we are celebrating by opening over 200 shows and inviting YOU to see all we have to offer!   Check out International Quilting Weekend to learn more and get ready to ENTER for Prizes on March 18!
