Calling all quilters—and fans of quilted items! March 19th is National Quilting Day, a holiday created to honor the ancient tradition of quilting and to promote its continuation in this modern era. The Twin Cities are proud to be the home of many wonderful quilting shops. If you've been focused on looking at Minneapolis homes for sale or Saint Paul homes for sale, then consider taking a break to visit one of these awesome quilt stores in the Twin Cities.

Knit & Bolt also offers quilting classes for all experience levels. Their Beginner Quilting classes are three hours long and generally teach you how to make something simple, such as a blanket or table runner. They also offer straight line quilting, embroidery, and beginner's sewing classes. - Treadle Yard Goods: 1338 Grand Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55105
