JaM Patch News --- Celebrating National Quilt DayHaven't we been having the most perfect weather that you could hope for? It has been glorious. We are so lucky to live here. The JaM Patch has been having a really good time with all the new friends we have been meeting. I entered more than 20 new names on our email list today. Welcome! We like to send you a newsletter weekly to keep you abreast of the things happening at the Patch and what we know about in the Quilting World. We hope you enjoy it as much as so many of you tell us you enjoy it.  Farm Life, Margy's Class Sample We have loads to talk about as we are planning for a fun-filled Saturday and week to follow. On March 19th the United States officially recognizes Quilting and Quilters with "National Quilting Day". So we decided this would be a good start for a week of highlightening quilting and sharing with you some of the STARS in our own backyard. We have asked the local Quilting Stars to participate in a presentation on what they do. Many have agreed but others were already commited, so perhaps at a later time. We do have three days of presentations you will enjoy and learn from. Many STARS will be demonstrating and some will have a trunk show to show you first hand what they do. It should be fun. Here is the schedule of events: Saturday, March 19th
