UFO

These two pillows are a result of UFO's (un-finished-objects).  The dresden plates were originally part of a table runner which sat in my home for 2 1/2 yrs unfinished.  About a few days ago, I was looking through my stash of fabric and came across them and I became inspired to finish them.  So, I picked them apart and separated them and made these two pillows.  One of them I use for back support while sewing.  I like them much better as a pillow than a table runner.

One Million Pillowcase Challenge


For Quilt Shop Blogs

Make a pillowcase. Make a difference.


You can turn your love of quilting and sewing into messages of comfort, hope and love – for a

foster child, a cancer patient, victims of domestic violence, and others. Every pillowcase will

make a difference in our local community.

The

American Patchwork & Quilting 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge is continuing through 2012

– and they need our help to reach their goal of providing 1,000,000 pillowcases to people who

need to know someone cares.

The need is great. Our compassion as quilters is greater.

So far, nearly 400,000 pillowcases have been recorded on their website. IF DESIRED, ADD

NUMBER OF PILLOWCASES SHOP DONATED IN 2011.

Join us at our pillowcase event: EVENT INFO HERE. The pillowcases made during our event

will be donated to LOCAL CHARITY NAME.

IF DESIRED, INSERT PERSONAL MESSAGE HERE.

Pillowcases are a quick and easy project (and a great way to use up your stash). Even if you’ve

never sewn before, you can make a pillowcase. The challenge website has free patterns and a

how-to video to make it even easier!

Join me in making pillowcases throughout 2012. My personal goal is XX pillowcases. I’m going

to donate them to LOCAL CHARITY NAME.
