Make a PillowCase - Make A Difference

Calling all quilters, sewers and crafters! American Patchwork & Quilting and Lori's Country Cottage is challenging you to join our efforts to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Every pillowcase can make a difference in your community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident. Lori's pillowcases that you submit will go to the  Cardiac and General Surgery units at the Stollery Children's  Hospital.

The smiles from the children make this project so worth it! Don’t forget that the Million Pillowcase Challenge continues for the whole year! Your fabric, finished pillowcases and help at the workshops is essential to the success of the program. Keep your donations coming!

During the "FREE" workshop you will be given instructions to design and craft a pillowcase. All pillowcases made in these workshops are donated into the Pillowcase Challenge. Bring your sewing machine and your enthusiasm for an afternoon of pillowcase sewing. Evelyn will guide you and keep the cutting going allowing you to sew, sew, sew and visit. RSVP by calling the store.
