• Is it March already? It certainly blew in like a lion in these parts, with over a foot of snow on the ninth hole of the fairway...but, the robins are back, the snow is melting, and a chipmunk ran across the porch yesterday. So, it must be National Quilt Month, with the actual Quilt Day being the third Saturday in March, or the 22nd. So, be sure to check with your local quilting associations to see what special events they have planned! #
