Pillowcase Update

I have stitched up the last of the pillowcases!

Pillowcases

They have all been boxed up and delivered.

All 137 of them!

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.

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!

Washington State, where I live, has had its share of wildfires this summer.  One very small thing that I can do is join a few quilting sisters in sewing pillowcases for the many children who have been affected by these devastating fires.

Pillowcases are easy to sew, and don’t require a lot of effort.  There are lots of tutorials to be found online to make pillowcases. 

 If making pillowcases happens to be on your list of Christmas gifts to make this year, then consider sewing an extra one and donating it to your local charity.
