Pillowcase Challenge Update September, 2019

We are challenging our readers to make pillowcases for our charities. We have 73 pillow cases so far and really would like to hit our goal of 200! 
It takes twenty minutes to make a pillow case and you can use up that scrap fabric of 27" plus 9" cuff. If you want to add a pop of color, just another 1" strip.
Help us meet our goal!

Make a Pillowcase and donate it we did!

Turn your love of quilting and sewing into messages of comfort,hope and love for a foster child, a cancer patient,  victims of domestic violence, and others.

Our quilt bee Sew Fun Quilters got together last night and made 76 flannel pillowcases! These will be donated of our local charities to use this Christmas as gifts.

This also would be to do with your grandson or granddaughter! All you need is pins, scissors, iron and sewing machine.


This is how we did it: we organized ourselfs into groups of assemblers, piners, sewers and pressers!
