To quilty engineers, scientists, Pi lovers everywhere,
Happy Pi Day!
I am a chemical engineer and got my degree at Carnegie Mellon University (known to be a super nerdy engineering school). We did not have many of your typical college parties, but holidays like Pi day (March 14th for 3.14) were always huge celebrations.
Students spent most of the night writing out the thousands of digits of pi on the sidewalks all through the campus. I always try to celebrate pi day now with a celebration including some pie.
A bunch of years ago, I made a pi quilt for my engineer husband containing 49 paper pieced digits of Pi and I thought that I would post it again for the occasion. You can find the Paper Pieced Numbers and Pi Quilt pattern in my shop if you would like to make your own.
Go have a piece of pie today to celebrate Pi Day :)
I made this pi quilt for my nephew when he graduated from high school. He is now a grad student in physics, so I think I chose well. My family is full of engineers: my dad, 3 brothers, 2 sisters, a brother-in-law and my son. Lots of nerdy people but always ready to help fix things.
ReplyDeleteI like pi day cuz it's my birthday. I need to go out and have a piece of pie today. And when I get home, I just might start my pi quilt as I just bought the pattern and I love paper piecing.
