Are you ready for National Quilting Day? It's the third Saturday in March every year, and it's almost upon us. For more information, including great ideas for sharing your love of quilting while celebrating our special quilting holiday, visit the National Quilting Association's Web site.

This week in Quilter's Review, we celebrate the Dear Jane quilting phenomenon with a review of Linda Franz' second Quilted Diamonds book...and CD...and DVD. It was hard to find words to describe what Linda has accomplished in these two books, but I did my best.

Sophie has two more book reviews for you in this issue: American Doll Quilts is another quilting treasure, and Curl-Up Quilts from the Piece O' Cake gang is just plain fun!

Enjoy a safe and sane National Quilting Day, you wild and crazy quilters, you. I'll be back in your inbox on March 21.

'Til then, happy quilting!
