One Million Pillowcases -- Challenge

So, the Nicholas Project gang is always looking for projects to add to our list --  you know, for all that free time we have in between our other projects!  We recently heard about this great and worthy cause to provide pillowcases to a variety of recipients: shelters, hospice, nursing homes, hospitals, chemo patients, etc.

American Patchwork and Quilting - part of Better Homes and Gardens - has challenged the sewing world to join the effort to make 1,000,000 (yep, that's one million) pillowcases by the end of 2010!  They have some cute pattern ideas at their website, as well as a basic pattern with no frills.  Pillowcases are so easy you almost HAVE to do it.   Their project is promoted through local quilt shops, but there's no reason you can't do it on your own too. 

If you just love making pillowcases and don't know where to send them, email me and I'll give you our address.  We would be happy to find worthy homes for the work of your hands and hearts!

Peace,   Donna
