Pattern Choice Daytime Gathering

The Daytime Gathering in 2023 is a year-long Gathering while taking a "Summer Break" in June/July. The Daytime Gathering projects are Pattern Choice: Participants find a pattern that fits their 2023 aims. Some will choose patterns from the book: Quilt Recipes By Jen Kingwell. Some will choose another Jen Kingwell pattern - and, some will find another pattern! A true Participant's Choice Daytime Gatherings for 2023.

The 2023 Daytime Gathering will take place monthly and will be held at the Raleigh store's BERNINA Studio:

• The third Tuesday of the month, 10:30am - 4:00pm.
  The next Daytime Gathering will be on October 17, 2023.

For participating in the Gathering, you are reminded that:

• The Gathering participants purchase, from our store, books or other patterns chosen to be part of the Gatherings and the fabric needed for quilts created during the Gatherings..

• The Gathering participant, by joining the Gathering, is making a commitment to make a solid effort at completing the Gathering project for that five-month period.

• For the 2023 Daytime Gathering, the yearly fee is $75. The fee is non-refundable once charged.

• Gathering participants should have experience in sewing and in making quilts.

• Gathering participants, surely, interact. However, the Gathering is not a class, although Sonja will be available to assist during the five-month Gathering session.

• The store will not be able to arrange and set-up class machines for use during the Gatherings. Gathering participants should bring to the Gathering what they need for sewing/cutting during the Gathering.

• Due to the numerous options / aims / of each Gathering participant, space at the Gathering is limited.
  Gathering Participants must be pre-signed up. "Drop in" participants will not be accommodated. Sorry!

Further information will be available on this Webpage and via eMail sent to Gathering participants.

The Gatherings are normally over-subscribed. If you wish more information about participating in the monthly Daytime (third Tuesday) Gatherings:

Previous Month's Summaries

Daytime Gathering - May 2023

We ended the first-half of 2023's Daytime Gathering with this May session. It has been an enjoyable/productive five months and I am already looking forward to the Fall and the "return to action". In the meantime, have a safe June/July during our break from the Gatherings.

See you in the Fall! Time flies.

Daytime Gathering - April 2023

We missed a few of you due to health issues -- we, of course, missed seeing/working with those who were not able to make it in April. We did, though, have a delightful day and we were able to "spread out" the work areas/space: Even more than usual!

See everyone in May. Remember, we take a Summer Break in June/July.

Daytime Gathering - March 2023

Another productive day. Mickey brought her almost-finished 2023 top; it is really beautiful with Stonehenge fabrics (one of my favorites): Well done, Mickey. On my end, I finished my 2022 binding and I look forward to going back to working on my 2023 blocks!!

Daytime Gathering - January 2023

We have a start to 2023! It was terrific to be "back" in Gathering action and exciting to see/discuss all the patterns that will be attacked as the months go by.
