I'm confused about the size of the paint brushes.  The kind you paint walls 
with or the small detail brushes?
What kind of material is used for banners?  Muslin?
Which weight needle for the sewing machine?
What are Glaslyn's "colors"?

Anne,
The paint brushes needed will depend on the amount of detail in the banner.  
For large areas to paint, yes a 1"-2" brush works great.  For smaller areas, 
a smaller bristle works best.
Muslin will work but canvas works better.  The heavier fabric works best 
with banners since they will stand better to the weather and won't tear as 
easily.  Although, if you want a flowing banner, silk is preferred.
With regard to the weight of needle for the sewing machine....depends on the 
fabric.  Heavier fabric requires a stronger needle.
I don't think the purpose of this party is to make Glaslyn's heraldry.  It's 
just to make banners to cover up mundanity.  Bring the colors that *you* 
want to use.
I hope this helps.
Ceinwen~
