    Wonderful idea! They will be unique and individual for that person, and they will have it near them when they sleep at night! I've read of a lot of people here doing that!

    Sounds like a great idea to me! :thumbup:
    I have done that in the past. When I make a quilt for my grandkids - if I have enough fabric left over, I make a matching pillowcase.

    I think the tube pillow cases are a excellent idea

    I personally feel that anyone who looks down their nose at a handmade gift that was given with love is selfish and never deserves another one! Think about it - everything we purchase had to be manufactured in one way or another from raw materials - what difference does it make who assembles it? A few years ago when I heard that the day after Thanksgiving sales at a major discount store (the one that starts with a "W" and ends with an "almart") there was a woman in a wheelchair, and someone else pushed her almost into a wall because she wasn't moving fast enough - I decided then and there that if a gift is to come from me, and I didn't make it, then it doesn't get given. Period. Sometimes people get hot homemade chocolate chip cookies, but it's something I made myself.

    Love the idea of pillow cases. I am doing that also for some of my friends and family. I love the Missouri Star Quilt video ... easy to follow. Something you made yourself is special!

    This is a great idea! They will appreciate that you have taken the time to make them, and have personalized them for each one too :D:D:D

    I guess we all have the same idea. My grandkids love these things and they are easy to put together, cheap to mail and are one of a kind!
