Gemstone or Blooming Nine Patch

This Web page is aimed at being a central repository of information for our Evening 2016 Gathering. The Gathering projects are based upon either: The Gemstone pattern from Wing and a Prayer Design or Blooming Nine Patch inspired by the book: Tradition With A Twist Book By Blanche Young & Dalene Young Stone.

The information in this page is intended especially for those of you who are participating in the Evening Gathering.

For participating in the Gathering, you are reminded that:

• The Gathering participants purchased, from our store, the pattern chosen to be part of this Gathering and the fabric needed for this quilt..

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

• Gathering participants, surely, interact. However, the Gathering is not a class . Each participant is expected to be able to manage his/her own project.

• 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, due to classroom class size and machine space limitations will not be accommodated. Sorry!

• If a Gathering participant decides to "drop out" of the 2016 Gatherings, it would be appreciated if that were known by the store; there may a wait-list and, if a Gathering slot opens - Persons on the wait-list will be notified of such.

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

Thank you for your participation - and, we look forward to seeing your beautiful work as 2016 progresses!

Those who signed up and are participating in this Gathering have been contacted. For those participating and have been contacted, the next session for the 2016 Evening Gathering will held: Monday, December 12, 2016 5:00pm at the store - and, if you have time to do so: Show-and-Tell at the Saturday Bernina Club December 3, 2016 10:00am-12:00pm.

From the Webmaster: I enjoyed seeing Diane's piece on the wall. I think it will be a fun wall-hanging / discussion piece.
