ROUND #3 for the PILLOWCASES PROJECT- WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!

[lifeisgrand]

Oh Sue- I can't imagine you finding the time to do this project! But if it occupies the wee hours of the morning when you can't sleep...then keep on a-sewing, gal! And since there are NO quilting police here- you're seams are safe with me!
As far as prewashing the fabric- I only do it if the material is stiff or rough. (However, I always prewash red fabrics since red is a color that has a tendency to bleed.)
Well, Girlfriend- I am amazed you are tackling some pillowcases! How you do that with all the pain you're going through is commendable. You are absolutely the 'bee's knees', Sue!
Please take care of yourself and don't stress yourself out over this project! Hugs~Marcia

This link is a utube that actually shows you how to make them. It starts as a BOM but then goes to the pillowcases. It really helped me

I have 7 done myself and will keep on sewing! Those troops deserve every single bit of love we can send them! Make that 11 now! I now have 20 done and 8 cut and ready to go for tomorrow! Anyone want to challenge me to a sew off?

Oh, Audrey- you are an absolute gem! Do you know that there are over 800 beds at that hospital to help our wounded American soldiers? I can only imagine what a bright, cheery pillowcase can do to perk up a wounded soldier's spirits. Thank you so much for supporting our troops! Hugs and appreciation~Marcia

I love making pillowcases. Just remember the more you make for our soldiers the more fabric you can buy. I will have them ready and to you by the 24th.

My cases went in the mail today. Should arrive on or before Wednesday, the 14th.

Thank you for your donation of five pillowcases, quiltwithmom (Kathy). They are all grand! What a fun variety of fabrics that are sure to cheer up any hospitalized soldier!
I also wish your son (a Marine) a safe tour in Iraq. His February deployment is going to come too soon. Hugs to you & your son~Marcia
