Current Month Summaries
2023 Pattern Choice Daytime Tuesdays Gathering
Daytime Gathering - November 2023
It was great to see you all at the November Gathering, see completed works: Well Done -- and, finalize the 2024 Gathering plans.
In 2024 we will all use Quilt Kits from our store – and, it will be fun/challenging to work with those projects as 2024 comes about.
With Christmas and Holiday happenings taking preference close-to December's Gathering: We made a group decision to not meet in December 2023.
If you are participating in 2024's Tuesday Daytime Gathering: See you January 16th!
Have a safe / healthy and joyous holiday season.
