Information for QuiltAlong 2023


Hello Quilt Lovers, 
We were so excited as we announced our 2023 Bernina World of Sewing Quilt Along.  The name of the quilt was "A Road Trip - A Block of the Month Adventure Quilt" designed by Kate Colleran and Tammy Silvers. This non-traditional quilt is cleverly designed to represent the United States, with water on both coasts, highways, starry skies, mountains, and trees.  

For those of you who have participated in the past, we have made some significant changes. So here are the highlights to our 2023 Quilt Along program:
  • A 12-month program started in January 2023 and finished in December 2023.  

  • You worked at your own pace. No deadlines, no fabric kits to pick up, or finished blocks to show every month. 

  • Participants were responsible for purchasing the pattern and fabric for this quilt. All supplies purchased from BWOS were be discounted 10%.

  • The pattern contains detailed instructions for the full year.

  • There were no monthly video or PDF download instructions. 

  • We enjoyed sharing photos, tips, and tricks in a private Facebook. Participation in the Facebook group was not required. 

  • A Road Trip Quilt Along Sit and Sew was held in the Raleigh Studio on the last Wednesday of every month in 2023 for participants to work on and help each other with their blocks.  A $10 registration fee got you an entire day of sewing bliss and '70's tunes. The $10 fee was deducted from any purchases made in the store on that day. Advance registration was required.

Now that you’re caught up with program details and changes, here’s your "Road Trip" Itinerary: 

  • Amy O’Donnell was your Tour Guide on the 2023 adventure.

  • This quilt requires advanced beginner or intermediate to advanced level quilting skills.  

  • Finished size, if completed according to the pattern, was 60 x 74 inches

  • This stash friendly quilt requires 24 - 1/4-yard cuts or fat quarters in various bright colors specified in the pattern and 3 3/8 yards of background fabric. We recommend purchasing 4 yards to allow for a wider outer border and binding. 

  • The instructions for this quilt are EXCELLENT. They contain great graphics and very detailed instructions. 

  • Do you like the shop sample?? The shop sample quilt fabrics or similar fabrics will be kitted to save you time in choosing your fabrics. The kits are $72 (discount included-does not include background fabric) and are only available by pre-ordering.

  • The Road Trip shop sample will be shown at the City of Oaks Holiday Party on December 10th, 2022 and will hang in the store after that. A Wilmington shop sample is being made now. 

  • Patterns are in stock and available for purchase at any time at either store. 

Happy Sewing, Everyone!!! 
Your Friends at BERNINA World of Sewing.
