National Sew A Jelly Roll Day
2026-09-19 00:00 - 23:59
National Sew a Jelly Roll Day, celebrated every third Saturday of September and falling on September 19 this year, is a day on which quilters get to sew up their many bundles of pre-cut and unused fabrics, which are usually referred to as ‘jelly rolls.’ When sewing, a wide range of effects can be used by the quilter to contribute to the final quality and utility of the quilted material. The quilter manages these effects by manipulating such things as the type and thickness of the material, the stitch length and style, pattern design, and piecing and cutting.

Pins & Needles Day
2026-11-27 00:00 - 23:59
Pins and Needles Day is celebrated every year on November 27. The day celebrates a popular musical performed on Broadway between 1937 and 1940. With music composed by Harold Rome, the musical was originally written for members of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, but its entertaining storyline led to a skyrocketing in popularity. The show was based on the lives of young workers during the American labor movement and acted as a parody of prevalent social issues. The show performed 1,018 times and was even presented to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife at the White House in 1938.
