What a pillow case day!

Yesterday was our Pillow Case for Cancer Patients sew day.
I can't even begin to tell you the love and support shown by so many.
We made over 90 pillow cases.
 

When I first thought of making  pillow cases for Cancer Patients I knew if I asked all of my quilting friends they would help. Kinda like if you build it they would come, and boy did they!
 I also went to several local quilt shops in my area and asked if they would like to host an event.
 Without hesitation Scrapbooks Etc jumped on board.  They offered to host an open sew event and even offered to be a drop of location for those who couldn't attend the sew day  but wanted to help make pillow cases.
Julie and Marti at ETC, went above and beyond to make this event successful and fun. They donated over 50 pillow case kits and also donated this beautiful quilt to one lucky participant.

Vicki was the lucky winner of this beautiful quilt Marti donated.
 
Thanks to all that came out and help.
 




 
I would also like to thank everyone who donated a door prize.
 
Not only did these ladies come out and help but they also donated their pillow case pattern to everyone who participated.
And if that wasn't enough they asked their quilt group to make pillow case for us as well.
Thanks Audrey and Cheri.
