Pillowcase Party! February 1-28
Make A Pillowcase, Make a Difference!
| A pillowcase is a simple thing to make. But it can make a big difference - providing comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident. It lets them know that someone like you cares. |  |
That's why Suzanne's Quilt Shop is joining the One Million Pillowcase Challenge and you're invited to participate with us! During the month of February, we'll work side by side with FabShopHop, their network of independent quilt and fabric shops, and American Patchwork & Quilting to provide fabric, kits, and patterns so you can donate pillowcases to local charities.

Serve refreshments, give out prizes and have fun with these kits!

Be Creative! Design Your Own Pillowcases!
Of course we encourage you to use your talents, experiment and make a unique project! The people who get them will treasure your pillowcases even more. Make it a group effort - grab your friends, raid your stashes and put your heads together to come up with a dazzling design! You can find whatever you need to make your special pillowcases here at Suzanne's Quilt Shop. Here are a few fabric suggestions:

We have a couple of Pillowcase Patterns to help get you started.
Sweet Dreams Pillowcase Standard Size Pillow. Great basic pillowcase pattern. Includes directions for prairie points as well. Click Here |
Pillow Party Pattern Pattern collection of eight different pillowcases. Features techniques including ruffles, box pleats, covered buttons, and machine embroidery. Instructions are included to customize the size of the pillowcase. Click Here |
You can also download Free Patterns from Fabric Shoppers Unite here. There are patterns from the American Patchwork and Quilting website here. While you are on these websites, you can see photos of pillowcases that other quilters have made. These might inspire you to craft your own special design! |
Donate Your Finished Pillowcases to Make a Difference!
You can donate your finished pillowcases to the local charity of your choice. Start with your local churches and synagogues. Perhaps your area has a hospice that cares for terminally ill patients, or a shelter for abused women and children. Maybe you know the director of a children's advocate's group or a mission that provides shelter for the homeless. You might know a family who has lost everything in a fire or flood. There are so many people who would benefit from the simple gift of a pillowcase!
Be sure to go to the homepage of the APQ's 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge website, scroll down and enter the number of pillowcases that you donated in the Official Counter so they will be included in the total.
When you make pillowcases and donate them, we'd like to know about it! Bring your finished pillowcases in or e-mail a picture to us. We'll feature your project on our Blog, Suzy Sayz for everyone to see your good works.
Now that you see what a big difference a simple pillowcase can make, what are you waiting for? Get your Pillowcase Party started at Suzanne's!
