I'm involved with my guild's Project Pillowcases and over the past several years we have made and distributed through ConKerr Cancer about 4,000 pillowcases to kids in NJ and NYCity hospitals. It is always so good to hear about a child's reaction upon recieving one of the pillowcases.
We also are careful about the types of fabric used for the pillowcases we make for kids in hospitals, and donate flannel. fleece and other 'not for kids' pillowcases to other groups in need. After sewing the pillowcases they are all washed, dried and packed into quart size baggies so they are sparkling clean and have no chemicals in them.
Anyone intrested in making pillowcases for kids in hospitals should check out conkerrcancer.org and find your area coordinator. They have several methods of making pillowcases on their site. You don't have to make tons of pillowcases just as many as you can.
