About Sandy Hook Elementary Pillow Case Drive
HI everyone, The Quilters Corner in New Milford CT has started a pillow case drive for the children of Sandy Hook elementary school.
I saw this on facebook via Maureen Cracknel Handmade
www.facebook.com/maureencracknellhandmade
and thought it might be helpful to start a flickr group since I know so many of us sew and they will need approx. 600 pillow cases.
I believe the goal is to get these done so the children can receive them after Christmas break. I know it is a small thing to do....but a pillow is always a great comfort and to be able to give these children a little extra peace at night would be a wonderful thing.
This is the mailing address for the Quilter's Corner:
312 Danbury Rd. ( Rt. 7), New Milford, CT 06776
Please feel free to pass this along, let's get these done for Sandy Hook
I have made one tonight in less than an hour and I hope you will as well.
I used this tutorial here at Film in the Fridge. And you can join the Flickr group here.
What a wonderful idea! Having something to remember friends and be a comfort will surely help in the healing process for those children!
ReplyDeleteHey Fweetie! :X Just read at Lee's that we/our guild are doing this. Thanks for the heads up. Do you know the pillowcase trick? Lemme see if I can find it... it's a video and everything. After you make one, you can whip them out in no time!

Maybe it will comfort us a bit to help... I still tear up every time I think of them. Lee said the world is crazy. In a world where evil is at work, you just never know where it will show up. I am glad that the author of evil doesn't have the final word! Prayers for the wee ones who made it and are still here and the poor parents who lost theirs <3
