What's New with Suz's News?
Thank You! We Appreciate Everyone Who Participated in Our Pillowcase Party!
 |
Suzanne's Quilt Shop would like to thank all the quilters, sewers and crafters who showed up Saturday to "Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference". We made a bunch of pillowcases, and we're still collecting them! For a more detailed account with pictures, go to our Blog, Suzy Sayz. If you missed the party and want to donate pillowcases, you can bring them by the shop or take them to a local charity yourself. |
Wait! The Party's Not Over Yet!

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. |
American Patchwork and Quilting magazine has issued a challenge for 2010. They want us to join them to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. We'll Be Offering More Pillowcase Kits, Patterns, and Novelty Prints. And check each issue of Suz's News to see when we'll be throwing our next Pillowcase Party! |
