One Million Pillowcase Challenge

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

American Patchwork & Quilting® magazine is challenging quilters, crafters and sewers across the country to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Local quilting enthusiasts will join the cause to help reach the goal of making and donating one million pillowcases to benefit local charities. Every pillowcase can make a difference in your community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, and encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident. Hosting pillowcase events locally will be A Quilter’s Dream, LLC, a quilting shop located in Leesburg at 719 W. Main Street located in Historic Downtown Leesburg.

Throughout 2010, quilters, crafters and sewers across the nation will make pillowcases at their local quilt shops. The shops will then collect the pillowcases and donate them to a local charity of their choice and update the pillowcase counter at allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases. The counter will track nationwide progress toward the goal of one million pillowcases. Connie Czernuch owner of A Quilter’s Dream, LLC sees the One Million Pillowcase Challenge as away to give back to the local community.
