make a pillowcase
make a difference
Calling all quilters, sewers and crafters!
Blue Bee Quilting and American Patchwork & Quilting is challenging you to join our efforts to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Every pillowcase can make a difference in your community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident.
Blue Bee Quilt shop is proud to host and be part of the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. Please join our Charity Sewing Club each Sat at 2:00. Once your pillowcases are complete and donated locally, we submit the number of pillowcases made.
Each pillowcase makes a difference. Please help us reach our goal opf 100 pillowcases. In reaturn we are helping the American Patchwork & Quilting reach theri goal of ONE MILLION Pillowcases.
April 2010
The One Million Pillowcase Challenge has almost reached the 50,000 pillowcases donated mark, so what better way to remind you to make a pillowcase to give to your favorite charity? The Prairie Point Pillowcase is one of the pillowcase designs created to accompany this challenge. Get your free copy of this pattern
