2021 Quilt Along General Information

Bernina World of Sewing and Quilt Along 2021

• Just THIS Month and, for some of you: The Extension. Many will be DONE soon: Congratulations! We are entering our eighth month in November and, although I have had zero photos of Month-6/7 passed my way (I assume you have sent them to Social Media -- and, I fully support that!) - we have had another successful (based upon your feedback and photos) seventh-month-of-eight-months on this Quilt Along 2021. If you DO have time to (additionally, share here Web-wise): Thank you in advance - just send a photo of your September, October or November progress to the QuiltAlong ID shown above. It has been great to see your progress (thank you for sharing your first-seven-month's results) and now we move into Month-8 as we add the final Border-5 (Note: If you are doing the extension, you will have a "Border-6" in November).

  If you are a 2021 participant: November will soon be available. The store's eMail will be sent sometime on/before November 1. If you are looking for an earlier month's 2021 pattern, (April, May, June, July, August, September or October), -- or, you for some reason do not get a previous month's store eMail -- and you are registered with Quilt Along 2021, just send a message to the QuiltAlong eMail address shown above.

  If you are not currently a Participant, the option for you to "Share the Journey" with us by using the Pattern Only option (further explained below) remains and the plan is for that option to continue to be available to those who have not already signed up as 2021 moves forward. By signing up, you will receive access to prior-month's patterns as well as current-month and upcoming month's patterns.

  Again: Thank you for your interest/participation at this point in the project -- and: We look forward thru-November on seeing how you (the Participant) complete the 2021 Feathered Friends Quilt. It will be a busy/satisfying effort.

  News!

  • "Pattern Only" - Share the Journey - Option
    Due to demand -- and as a service to you - the store is offering those of you who may have missed the sign-up window a chance to "Share The Journey" with us during the 2021 Feathered Friends Quilt Along, April-thru-November, if that catches your fancy. You purchase the pattern only and use what fabric Colorway YOU decide for your piece (The pattern is based upon your using four shades: -- Dark, Medium, Lt-Medium and Light -- of one "Colorway" plus your Background fabric -- all of which combination YOU come up with). Other than purchasing the pattern ($20 plus tax) -- and, using "your own" fabric -- the monthly pattern/video availability together with any Social Networking/etc. you wish to participate in will be the same. The pattern (and the videos) will be available to you monthly; you would not receive the pattern "at one time"; pattern/video availability is over the eight months as with all of the Quilt Along offerings for 2021. Of course, we would love to work with you at our store and would assist you in fabric purchase, etc. -- and, our Web Shopping site is always available to you. If those do not work for your situation: We encourage you to support your local Quilt Shop if your "fabric stash" does not meet your 2021 objectives. Interested? Register, below.
  
  
• At the end of your 8 month journey with your "Feathered Friends", the entire quilt (Size: About 66" x 66" or 96" x 96" if you are using the outer Star border extension) will be ready for quilting.
