I have been going thru some material in my stash to make pillow cases for the million pillow case challenge. A lot of the quilt stores around here are participating. The pillow cases are to go to nursing homes, children's hospitals, VA hospitals, foster children etc... I have mostly children's prints. Here is the link for the cause.

One lady in our group that meets monthly at the library has made (or as of last week) 8 dozen pillowcases. Wow!

That's a cool idea Scrappy. I love the idea of the kids prints for pillowcases. You'll have to post pictures of yours...

What a great way to use up fabric you no longer need. And to use up smaller pieces of fabric...you could make some out of patches.

Here's what the one I made today looks like. Not a very good shot of it, but you get the idea.
I have also made a Minnie Mouse, Dinosaur, Doggie Bones, and Frog one. I may have enough material to make another one of the kitty ones.

Donna, I am thinking I made about 10 or 12. Not sure how many our group ended up with either. I haven't heard lately. Need to try to remember to check.
