Happy Pi Day! March 14th (3.14)

To quilty engineers, scientists, Pi lovers everywhere, 

Happy Pi Day!  

I am an 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 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.  For my kids, I will be sending them to school with cookies having pi symbols on them for their classes.

A number 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.

Go have a piece of pie today to celebrate Pi Day :) 

Happy Pi Day! 3/14/15 or 3.1415

To quilty engineers and scientists and Pi lovers everywhere, 

Happy Pi Day!  

During college, Pi day was always celebrated (I went to Carnegie Mellon University, a super nerdy engineering school). People 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.  

This year is especially exciting being the year 2015.  The date 3/14/15 contains the first 5 digits of pi, 3.1415.  At 9:26 am or pm, the date will be 3/14/15 9:26, 7 digits of pi, 3.1415926!  That alone is worth an extra piece of pie!

Two years ago, I made a Pi quilt for my husband containing 49 paper pieced digits of Pi and I thought that I would post it again for the occasion.

Go have a piece of pie today to celebrate Pi Day :)
