Pattern Choice Daytime Gathering

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

The 2023 Daytime Gathering took place monthly and was held at the Raleigh store's BERNINA Studio:

• The third Tuesday of the month, 10:30am - 4:00pm.
  At our November meeting, we decided to pass on the December Tuesday Daytime Gathering as the Holidays come about. If you are participating in the 2024 Tuesday Daytime Gathering, the next Tuesday Daytime Gathering will be on January 16, 2024.

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:

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.
