National Quilting Day in Sedro-Woolley - March 16, 2013!!!

Well, National Quilting Day is actually Worldwide Quilting Day!  Surely the most fun holiday of the year! 

We had our third annual spontaneous National Quilting Day Flash Mob Parade in downtown Sedro-Woolley at 11 a.m. this morning.  And we had 17 quilters, young and old (well, "experienced") in the mob!  Thanks to every one who came!

We paraded up and down Sedro-Woolley's main street, Metcalf, and took some detours into some of the surprised stores and restaurants.  But quilts make everyone happy! 

Shirley's birthday is today so we sang a quick song for her (thanks to her daughter for pointing this out) and we ran into Pat Hayden, whose birthday is tomorow.  Anyone else?

In case you haven't figured it out, EVERY day is National Quilting Day for a quilter...but this is a special day set aside for extra celebrations!

Story Walk Sedro-Woolley begins at 11 a.m. March 9th!

The day is here!  Be sure to visit our hometown-downtown core for a fun stroll in what promises to be beautiful weather!  Stories will be read at 12 locations and there are some fun food-theme quilts for your viewing pleasure.  Ask friendly guides if you have questions. 

Here is the list of locations:  Stories on the hour and half hour!
