Hairaising Panel

30 Jul 2010

We got the cutest Halloween Panel in the other day and I couldn't resist making something from it.  I don't know what it is about Halloween fabric, but I seem to love it all.  I think I'm a little weird that way. 

Each panel has 6 'photo's.  In the first photos, you'll see I cut mine up.  I was going to make a long narrow hanging quilt for my door and you'll see 4 of them lined up that way.  Then I decided it needed checkerboard, so I made some strips for that. 

Well, you can see I decided it looked better with 2 across and 2 down.  I used the extra 2 panel pieces to make a quick trick-or-treat bag.

40 Pillowcases from Carolyn

28 Jul 2010

We were wowed today when Carolyn came in with 40 youth themed pillowcases to drop off.  We're not sure if it's a record for the Million Pillowcase Challenge, but we think it's a record for us.

We wish all of you could hear the wonderful stories from United Way about how much each one is appreciated.  We're ready to send off our next 100 which brings our total to 400 pillowcases so far!!!

Below is camera shy Carolyn with her 40 pillowcases.  Good job!

No Peeking!

24 Jul 2010

Only a few more days and we'll be unwrapping the 2010 Christmas fabric from companies such as Moda, Andover, Benartex and Hoffman to name a few.  More fabric has been pouring in, but we just had to tease a bit and wrapped what we had at the time.  Kristin and I struggled to make it look good, but I've got to tell you when you are doing this at 9pm at night, things don't go as well as they could and to make matters worse we got the giggles.  So....don't make fun of our lovely display, we tried.  Come in on July 31st and help rip the paper off!  Till then....no peeking.

Yet Another 100 Pillowcases

16 Jul 2010

You did it again!  We just gave out our third batch of 100 pillowcases to United Way for distribution.  Meg Cole divided them up between the Advocacy Center Shelter and the Mental Health Assoc.  We'd like to thank everyone who was able to come out for the 'Make A Pillowcase Day' at the shop last Saturday.  We had some fun and were very productive.  Below are some photos from the day and also of Emma.  This lovely young lady made about 8 pillowcases with her Aunt's help.  Good job Emma!
