Don't Put It on the Back Burner! Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference! Click Here

A pillowcase is a simple thing for you 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. Let everyone know that you care! No donation is too small, so begin here.
