[Oceanwavequilters] Walk-By Quilt Display on Saturday, June 27th, is a GO!!!

[Sharon Lau]

OK, we have approval from the city to do our quilt display on Saturday, June 27th.



WE NEED QUILTS!!!



We anticipate we can hang 50-60 quilts.



So, if you have not already answered my previous e-mail, please let me know NO LATER THAN Saturday, June 20th at 5 p.m.:



(1) whether you will be participating and



(2) what width and length your quilt will be.



These can be any quilts you have - they don't have to be new. You can have displayed them at the Fort Bragg Quilt Show in past years. It doesn't matter! 



REMINDER:



Each quilter will hang her own quilt. You will be given a specific time to hang between 9 and 10 a.m. on that Saturday to encourage social distancing.



Note that the fence is only 5 feet high, so shorter quilts would be better. Your quilt will need to have a sleeve. You will also need a dowel or stick that is a couple of inches or so longer than your quilt is wide. (You might consider adding a bottom sleeve and a bottom dowel in case it's windy.) You will need to bring some twine, string, or wire to attach your dowel to the fence. You may bring paper towels and spray cleaner to wipe off the fence (we will have wiped it down ourselves first thing that morning). We ask that you spray the paper towel away from the quilts and use it to wipe the fence. You might also want to bring a sheet to hang behind your quilt. Just realize that you will be sharing the space with others.



Quilters will also be given a time to take their quilt down between 4 and 5 p.m.



WE ARE ALSO ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS for the show. These volunteers will be responsible for keeping an eye on the quilts, encouraging social distancing, answering questions from the folks who come to see the show, selling raffle tickets, or being crossing guards. The volunteers will work 2 hour shifts (10-12, 12-2, and 2-4). Please contact Sharon Rowan (mailto:sawrowan at gmail.com) or 964-4511 to sign up for a volunteer shift.



Thank you!
