You can 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. Every pillowcase can
make a difference in your local community.
The American Patchwork & Quilting One Million Pillowcase Challenge is continuing through
2011 – and they need your help to reach their goal of providing 1,000,000 pillowcases to people
who need to know someone cares. In 2010, over 200,000 pillowcases were recorded on their
website.
Pillowcases are a quick and easy project (and a great way to use up your stash). Even if you’ve
never sewn before, you can make a pillowcase. The challenge website has free patterns and a
how-to video to make it even easier!
Join me and make pillowcases throughout 2011. To find a participating shop, check the counter, download free patterns and watch a video, visit
the One Million Pillowcase Challenge website: www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases. My personal goal is 20+ pillowcases.
