Store Kit Choice Daytime Gathering

The Gathering in 2024 is a year-long Gathering while taking a "Summer Break" in June/July. The Daytime Gathering projects are Store-Kit Choice: Participants find a store kit that fits their 2024 aims.

The 2024 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 Tuesday-Daytime Gathering will be: Tuesday December 17 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 the year.

• For the 2024 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 2024

Another "small group" were able to attend the November session; Thanksgiving and other matters took preference for a few. Ok -- those that attended had a full day of sewing and comradeship -- and: We look forward to December. At the December meeting we plan on a small Holiday Treat celebration as well as having a sew day.

We also encourage December participants to bring a Gathering piece from a previous Gathering-year's work if such a piece or two or three... are possible to bring. We think it would be fun to reminisce a bit during this finale session of the Tuesday Daytime Gatherings that started "way-back" in 2010/11.

See you in December!

A return-to-normal monthly-schedule day. A small group this week -- but, a lot of sewing time for those of us who were able to attend. Pieces are progressing and it will be a busy upcoming month I am sure, for all of us. Spring is here!

Daytime Gathering - February 2024

A special welcome-back to Nancy and a welcome to Judy (her first Daytime Gathering)!'

A short time, between Gathering Sessions January-February due to QuiltCon week coming up - but, it was great to see work-move-forward including some finishing up 2023 projects. All leading to a productive Spring, I am sure -- with March coming soon: See you, March 19!
