Our Bee made 50 which were all donated to local charities. It was wonderful.

I've got 66 ready to be delivered. Am at the sewing machine so much...guess I'll just have to make the time. It is soooo fun to do. Several friends gave me a ton of fabric helping to keep the costs down.
Such a worthwhile project. The pillowcases can go to any local organization. I'm donating to the Clackamas Womens Shelter and The Canby Center. |

I just finished making three and have a fourth almost done. I made the pillowcase tubing one shown on MissouriQuilt.com. Man is it ever easy.
Three pillowcases ready for 2010 challenge. [ATTACH=CONFIG]72506[/ATTACH] |
These cases are such fun. Last night (Sunday) I went ahead and stitched 6 together. Just 4 more to do, but I'm thinking I have more fabric that will do just fine for more cases. OH NO, I think I've become addicted.

I have to check threw my stash see if I have anthing big enough.

wvdek, Your cases are very pretty! I choose to use just 2 pieces, faster for me that way, but now after seeing how pretty your three colors on one case look, I'm tempted to try three colors next time. However, I'm not good at picking colors - thats way I'm a quilter instead of a piecer LOL.

O.K. I could not rest today until I completed all 14 of the pillowcases I'm making for the pillowcase challenge. They are now completed and I want to show each of you what they look like. Now, remember, I am not good with colors, and sometimes what I think will look good together seems to backfire, but I really, really dislike (Mom always told me it was not "good" to "hate" anything so I can't say "hate" ripping anything apart. I do have a question ----- Does it matter with a directional print which side faces up? Should the right side up be "up" when you look at the pillowcase with the opening down or with the opening up. The deer on three of the cases I made are upright if you hold the case with its opening up. If you hold the case with the opeing toward the floor, the deer are upside-down. Is there a correct way?

Thank you for making such great pillowcases for a worthy cause!!
