This project began in late 2016 and ran through 2017. The project will involve two monthly Gatherings: A Daytime Gathering and an Evening Gathering.

The project in the 2017 Gatherings is based upon creating a Two-Color quilt using patterns inspired by the book: “modern neutrals, A fresh look at Neutral Quilt Patterns” By Amy Ellis.

We will be updating this BLOG once in awhile – and, as our Gathering projects have a short-lives (for now: Through the calendar year 2018), perhaps this BLOG helps us all interact.

We look forward to hearing from you and to your joining us in the Gatherings once a month at Bernina World of Sewing in Raleigh.

To participate, it is intended that you have purchased at Bernina World of Sewing the book involved with this project and, as well, the majority of your fabric for the projects used during this Gathering was purchased at Bernina World of Sewing.

    Hello!

    We have started this Weblog with the intent of providing the Gathering participants with a “sounding board” for their use.

    Please remember that all Weblog entries are audited by me – however, this Weblog is NOT monitored by the store’s staff. Any technical questions, etc. are not meant for store’s-staff members: The Gathering is not a class – and, this Weblog is not a place to ask store staff questions!

    Normally, you would start a “Reply” thread using the “Leave a Reply” box at the bottom of this Web page. Alternatively, you just click on the Reply button at the bottom of some existing entry.

    Some reminders:
    – To place a photo related to your efforts worked-on for the Gathering project, just send an eMail to me with the picture attached/included. I will figure out where you intend the photo for your particular Comment.
    – Contact me by eMail if you have any problems / concerns with ANYTHING related to the Weblog. Thank you.

    Good luck with your projects and
    Regards,
    David – Webmaster at Bernina World of Sewing

    Important Note: Well, important to me… You may not mind! We are in the final part of moving our store’s Website to a new hosting “place”. In doing such, I only have time to (mostly) just re-add previously-posted photos. Your prior-to December 2017 comments are “lost”, for now. Ok…. we hopefully will still enjoy the saved-below photos.
    In the meantime, feel free to add/comment as you normally would. New comments will be shown on this BLOG as usual. It is the pre-December 2017 comments that are (probably) no longer to be shown. Ok…. We will survive. Thank you.
    Have a good end to 2017 and start to 2018!
    See you, at the 2018 Gatherings!
    David

    The Gathering will run through end-2017.

    Hi, everyone!

    I am glad that you found the BLOG. To make this work, it would be great if once in awhile you make a comment here or send in a photo for the BLOG. This way, we will all be “kept up” with each other’s progress – and problems/successes!

    Both the Daytime and the Evening Gatherings will last throughout the calendar year 2018.

    The Daytime Gatherers will choose, over the year, from two projects: “Antelope Canyon” from Laurie Shifrin Designs or a Web-downloaded-by-the-participant pattern: “Sea Swept by Laura Flynn”, and the Evening Gaherers will choose quilt patterns selected from: “modern neutrals, A fresh look at Neutral Quilt Patterns” by Amy Ellis.

    To participate in this Gathering, you must be signed up at the store (Bernina World of Sewing). Space is limited!

    We will have the Evening Gathering on the second Monday evening of each month Daytime Gathering on the third Tuesday morning of each month through the end of the Gathering.

    I wish you some exciting / enjoyable sewing time and projects during the year!

    Sonja
