If you are a quilter or just a quilt fan, you won't want to miss this - a weekend extravaganza honoring National Quilting Day, which is March 17. The two-day program will take place at the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck Saturday and Sunday, March 17 and 18.
All events are free and open to the public.
They are sponsored by the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the Capital Quilters of Bismarck, in recognition of National Quilting Day and Women's History Month. The highlight of the marathon will be the Capital Quilters of Bismarck, who will be conducting quilting demonstrations from morning 'til midnight. The featured teacher will be Penny Wolf of the Missouri Valley Quilters of Mandan, N.D., along with Alice Coats, Diana Shull and Ethel Tishmack, all members of the Capital Quilters. Area quilters are encouraged to attend and quilt or take classes. Pre-registration is required.
