I have some of the pictures, but don't take pics of everyone. I make them and take them to the chapter leader to be passed out for Project Linus. And don't tell anyone, but I don't know how to get them on here in the first place. lol I have a psc and I'm sure that has to be involved, just not exactly sure how. I'm a lot better blanketeer than a computer user I fear.

Bev, they are really easier than it might seem. You'll surprise yourself, and want to make more. I participated in Operation Pillowcase from the adoptaplatoon folks, where they wanted bright colored pillowcases to remind deployed soldiers every time they laid down that they were remembered. I can't recall how many I made, but it was dozens. I had my own assembly line set up and they went really fast. I think I have a pic of one shipment of them. Your link reminded me that I wanted to do some more of them.

So, give 'em a go. You'll be cranking them out in no time at all. :wink:

Excellent tutorial.

Only thing that bugged me was that she kept calling the pillowcases "pillows"

The instructions and pictures are very clear.
