Pattern Choice and Log Cabin 2019 :

This Web page was aimed at being a central repository of information for our 2019 Daytime and Evening Gatherings. The  Daytime Gathering participant selected quilts from the book: “Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts” by Judy Martin (2013) Crosley-Griffith Publishing Company, Inc. and the Evening participant chose quilt patterns selected from: "modern neutrals, A fresh look at Neutral Quilt Patterns" by Amy Ellis.

The 2019 Gatherings took place monthly, started in January 2019, and continued:

• Evening Gathering: The second Monday of each month, 5:00-9:00pm.
  The final 2019 Evening Gathering was December 9, 2019

• Daytime Gathering: The third Tuesday of each month, 10:00am-4:00pm.
  The final Daytime Gathering was December 17, 2019

For participating in the Gathering, you are reminded that:

• The Gathering participants purchased, from our store, books or non-Web Downloadable patterns chosen to be part of the Gatherings and the fabric needed for quilts created during the Gatherings..

• For the 2019 Gatherings, a yearly fee of $50 is charged when the attendee commits to the first Gathering he/she attends.

• 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 2019 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.

The 2019 Gatherings are expected to be over-subscribed. If you wish more information about participating in either the monthly Daytime (third Tuesday) or Evening (second Monday) 2019 Gatherings, stop by the store and ask for Sonja (she will know of the matter) or:

Full-groups and good meetings while also welcoming a new member! Discussions, "Show and Tell" and we look forward to 2020 and its challenges.

A very important decision was made: We will all bring snacks and finger-food for our last meetings (December) 2019!

Ok! Thank you for another hard-working / productive sessions. Plus: We settled on Log Cabin as a theme for 2020 for the Evening Gathering and a BOM-theme for the Daytime Gathering. I look forward to them both.

Busy / productive sessions with different-stages of our 2019 projects in-place. What a treat, to see your hard work resulting in great pieces. Just three sessions remain in 2019; amazing how quickly time goes by. Discussions took place about 2020 projects: We make final decisions-about such in October.

Thank you all for participating in the Birthday celebration of/with Nancy. Well done! We also had a very productive evening project-wise; it is great to see how the pieces are coming along. Thank you all for your work - and, for sharing some Extra Work. Projects are definitely moving along at a "quick pace" heading into the latter part of 2019.

Some finished work and more in-progress successes, as well. Looking great! Thank you; it is a pleasure to see your hard-work coming forth. More "initial work" of 2019's pieces. Spring rains -- however: Progress reigns for us and May may bring Design Wall work!

Continued-busy sessions with each of us working on different parts of our 2019's first piece. Progress is apparent, now. A lot of interesting discussions, as well. Thank you for your work! -- It is a pleasure to see.

We had busy sessions with lots of project fabrics cut and neatly sorted into plastic bags! Of course (for the evening Gathering), the new Jason Yenter quilt (a contribution to the evening's work efforts) on the design wall was a star of the evening. The Daytime's session had a small-number of participants this month: Yet, getting started with the 2019 LC projects while also doing some extra-project-work: A full day!

January, 2019

A busy opening session for both the Evening and the Daytime Gatherings. A fine start, with project/fabric selection dominating the work and discussions. It will be fun, interesting and a pleasure to see everyone's efforts come forth as the year moves along. Thank you, in advance!
