Current Month Summaries

2022 Daytime Gathering January-thru-May's project was a Blooming 9-Patch. The August-December project is using a participant-selected pattern from Urban Quilting By Wendy Chow. Daytime Gathering - November 2022 Another successful month's effort by we-all. Well done! The discussions, also, were fine: We "firmed up" a Pattern Choice approach (a pattern/BOM that YOU find that fits your 2023 plans) supplementing the 2023 plans for some of us who will choose to use patterns from the "Quilt Recipes" book by Jen Kingwell or another Jen Kingwell pattern. Which ever path a Gathering Participant takes in 2023: The path will be for the entire year; Daytime Gathering 2023 will be for the year -- with June/July being "Summer Break" months (no meetings in June/July).
