1 Million Pillowcase Challenge
What does Super Bowl Sunday mean to you? As a quilter who spent a few of her formative years in Pittsburgh, if Super Bowl Sunday doesn't include the Pittsburgh Steelers, it doesn't mean much. As this is one of those years (sorry Steelers - we'll get 'em next year!) I'm looking for some other way to pass the day. And I think I've found it. Sew Inspired is hosting a Sew-perbowl Party! This coming Sunday, February 7, we are hosting a sew-in.
American Patchwork & Quilting is doing a year-long challenge: can we as sewers create and donate 1,000,000 to local charities. I certainly hope so. The count is currently at 17,024. You can see we as a community have a way to go. The pillowcases will be donated to a local charity where it will give comfort and cheer to its recipient. And we as the pillowcase creators get the pleasure of sewing a fun, quick project. What could be better? Here's the details:
- Date: Super Bowl Sunday, February 7th, 2010
- Time: 12:00 - 4:00
- Bring: your sewing maching, fabric (or purchase some when you get to the shop), some snacks to share, and some enthusiasm
Sew Inspired will provide drinks, some addtional snacks, and DOOR PRIZES!
