American Patchwork & Quilting magazine is challenging community service organizations, quilters, crafters and sewers across the country to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference.
The WSOS Quilter Corps members are joining the cause to help reach the goal of making and donating one million pillowcases to benefit local charities.
According to WSOS Family Advocate Lisa Heyman, every pillowcase can make a difference in a community. She said that 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.
Throughout 2010, the corps members will be making pillowcases and donating them to a local charity in one of the four counties in the WSOS service area, and will be updating the pillowcase counter at www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases.
The counter tracks nationwide progress toward the goal of one million pillowcases.
“WSOS Quilter Corps, sees the One Million Pillowcase Challenge as a way to give back to the local community. It’s all about team work and team work to us means, Together Everyone Achieves More,” Heyman said.
Sponsors of American Patchwork & Quilting’s One Million Pillowcase challenge include BERNINA, AccuQuilt, Clothworks, Handi Quilter, Moda, Paintbrush Studio, Presencia, Red Rooster Fabrics, RJR Fabrics, Robert Kaufman, The Fabric Shop Network, and Timeless Treasures.
To join the challenge and make pillowcases for donation or to donate fabric, thread or any unused sewing machines to help make a difference in your community, call 419-332-7987.
