Previous months:
March is National Women's History Month
Honoring Women by Quilting
Women’s History Month can be traced to pretty humble beginnings. In
1911, the world celebrated its first International Women’s Day. Not
until the 1980’s did that celebration stretch into a whole week, when
President Jimmy Carter issued a presidential proclamation declaring a
National Women’s History Week in March. In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress designated all of March as Women’s History Month.
So, Let’s Celebrate Women’s History month by making quilts–however you like. See the details and how to share your creation with the rest of us. Due to Karen Snell by April 16.
