Hey guys!
Most of you know me, but for those who don't my name is Sarah and I'll be your tour guide for today.
Recently the CM put together a 4-year anniversary project to commerate the wonderful community that is the CM and the impact that Our Lady Peace had on our lives. In a sort of continuance of this I will be making a quilt made up of squares that you guys make.
Thats why I'm posting this. I need you.
In a very sexy way.
No. Bad Sarah.
I mean, I need your help. All you guys have to do is make up a (or many) fabric square for the OLP blankie.
Its really a lot easier than it sounds.
All you have to do is make a 7x7" square and they will all be put together into one big collage. For those of you who are unaware, by 7x7" I mean you should take an 8x8" piece of fabric and put a half inch boarder around the whole thing and the center square is what you decorate. (I will need something to sew with
)
You can decorate it however you want. Write a message to the boys. Draw something with fabric paint. Sew something. Anything. The possibilities are infinate. Be creative. Be Original. Talk about the band. The music. The community. The concerts. Whatever.
If you want more information or ideas, give me a shout. I'm not hard to find.
Its a little piece of fabric and it would become some huge sentiment so it really is worth doing, guys.
I suspect some of you won't be able to mail one for whatever reason or would like to participate and dont' have the time, or are unable to make a square. If this is the case, I can make one for you. Just reply or send me an IM or email or whatever and tell me what you want on it. If you have a design that you can't for some reason get onto a square and mail it away, then tell me about it and I'll try to recreate your idea. Or if you have a message, send me that and I'll make a square out of it. Just type in what you want and I'll do it for you.
BUT I'D RATHER YOU DO IT YOURSELF AND SO WOULD OLP.
This is going to be very time consuming because once I have all the squares, I have to sew them all together, individually. Get a boarder/backing and batting. And allll that measuring and sewing. If you want to send alone some funding for this project, I won't say no.
So yeah. Come up with some cool ideas. If you want to say "ALBERTA loves OLP" Go for it. If you just want to scrawl "Smooke <3 Raine!" fine. If you want to recreate all the album covers, that would be cool. If you want to represent your hometown, wicked. No one is judging/comparing them. If you want to do something lame, then do something lame. Trust me, they'll love it anyway.
And even if you arn't a big fan of OLP anymore, make a square representing the CM or the CC or the hub. It's all part of it.
For those who do want to participate but think that finding fabric and all that is too difficult, its really not. Go to a fabric store and get a meter of white cotton for like $1. Or cut up an old t-shirt. Hell, if you are desperate but obscenely lazy I'LL mail you a square to use! And you don't need fabric paint. You could sew on some design or you could use iron-on's. You could use a sharpie for all I care. Just doo ittt.
I'll keep everyone updated in my Livejournal (naveed_life)
Or you can PM me on the CM (Random Name)
Or Pm me on the hub (Random_Name)
Or get me by MSN (
Sarah_s__@hotmail.com)
or by email (
sarah.stack@gmail.com)
and I'll give anyone who think might want to do one my mailing address.
Please spread the word. Post this on the CC, the hub, LJ, MySpace, Annnnnywhere. Just try to keep it from the band. Its supposed to be a secret, you know.
