Are you going to sew with me? It's Quilt Day!

The third Saturday in March is Quilt day each year!  What better excuse is there than to gather a group of friends and sew all day long?

I'm sewing with you online and will be using this post to document my day. I plan on doing a few videos and I'll insert them here. 

I've got fabric options and 800 projects .. do you think that is enough?  I'm also continuing to sew on Sunday as.. well.. it's more fun to have a whole weekend for quilting!

To celebrate national quilt day, my friend Katy Jones from Crafters Companion made my Zig Zag table runner using her Gemini die cutter and build a block dies with some of her leftover scraps from my ‘A Flower Bouquet’ weekly sew along  Isn’t it fun how a pattern can look so different when you change up the fabrics?

My runner is perfect for a spring table display, with a vase of tulips or daffodils and a plate of fresh baked cookies for those friends who are coming over to sew with you on national quilt day!
