[Oceanwavequilters] Sew Sunday in September - Making pin kits for QGNQ

[Sharon Lau]

Just to confirm what we discussed at yesterday's meeting:
On Sew Sunday, September 22nd, starting at 11 a.m. at the Senior Center, we will be having a work session to make the "favors" - log cabin quilt pins - for the Quilt Guilds of the North Quarter (QGNQ) meeting our guild is hosting on Saturday, October 26th. 
We have been told we might expect 60 or so people to attend the QGNQ meeting, so we have lots of pins to make! 
Our plan is to have kits all prepared for you to use. Each kit will contain instructions, the pre-cut wooden pin back, the pre-cut wooden strips and the self-stick safety clasp for the back of the pin. We will also have available markers to color the wood strips and glue to assemble all the pieces. 
Your job will be to color and assemble the pins. You will not need to bring any supplies - just your enthusiasm and willingness to work! (Unless you would like to bring permanent colored markers - like Sharpies or any other alcohol-based marker. Each pin requires 7 colors - see attached. Traditionally, log cabin designs progress from light to dark - from the center out or the outside in. Some say a center yellow square represents a lighted window - others say a center red square represents the fireplace at the heart of the home. Some prefer an even darker center square - a deep blue or purple. It's up to you!)
We will have a sign-up sheet at the August general meeting so we will know how many tables and chairs to set up. (Or email me to let me know you will be coming!)
If you have questions, please let me know! Thank you in advance for participating!
