Pillowcase Update

I have stitched up the last of the pillowcases!

Pillowcases

They have all been boxed up and delivered.

All 137 of them!

Pillowcases

The Hubster helped me to deliver them to Shriners Children’s Hospital-Spokane.

I have a soft spot for Shriners because they were a blessing to my family several years ago. I highly recommend them!

Now that the pillowcase marathon is over, I was thinking about about what to do next.

I realized that I spent the first quarter of the year on decluttering and donations.

Pillowcases

Sticking with a quarterly schedule, I am going to spend the next quarter on one, or two, unfinished sewing projects. Maybe even start a new project.

I am going to sew at a more relaxed pace, especially since spring is here, and I want to be outdoors.

The year is young yet. How are you doing with your goals?

Have fun and carry on!

  1. Why 137? Just wondering!
    What a fantastic donation, Laura. Quality work given in appreciation for the love & care of your family when needed….hugs

    • 137 is an odd number (no pun intended). It is simply what I ended up with after cutting as many kits as I could get out of the fabrics that I wanted to use and move out of the sewing studio.

      This was a fun project to do, Laura. 🙂

    137 pillowcases is amazing, Laura! And they’re so pretty – the kids are going to love them. I definitely think you have permission to start a new, just for fun, project!

    That is such a fabulous donation and a great decluttering effort. I am sure they are grateful for them. Places like that are a blessing when you need them. I am working hard to destash again this year, and need to plan some projects for a quilt retreat!

  8. Great job! You’ve inspired me–I just bought some panels to make pillow cases for the kids camp we donate to.
