Reminder: October 2016 Open Sew Tomorrow for QuiltCon Charity Quilt

Our October 2016 OPEN SEW is tomorrow, Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. at the Community Church of Cedar Grove, 65 Bowden Street, Cedar Grove, NJ (where we meet for our monthly guild meetings).

We have SIX hours of sewing scheduled! Can’t make it for the entire time? Come when you can!

** We are working on our QuiltCon charity quilt.

A main section of the quilt is foundation paper-pieced. There are other areas of the quilt that do not require paper-piecing.

Please bring an extension cord and/or power strip, neutral thread (light gray or cream), task light, paper piecing tools (“Add-A-Quarter” ruler, scissors for paper, etc).

• Pack your lunch and please bring a snack or drinks to share if you can.

• We need a couple of members to bring in an iron/ironing mat/board to share. Please comment below if you can share an “ironing set up.”
