    I too just finished 12 pillow case dresses. You can send them to Nancy,s in Beaver Dam, Wi and she packages them up and sees that they are sent to Africa. I challenge each quilter on this site to just make one and send to Nancy's. Think of all the dresses to make a little (and not so little)girl happy. How about it, ladys, can we all do one? It takes about 30 min. to make one. You can go to Goodwill, Salvation Army, or any other place like that and get a pillow case for about 50 cents. OK I am starting to count!! Everyone get busy. Lets flood Nancy's store with dresses for little girls in Afica.

    Please share more pics and/or start a thread. I'm not sure how to do that.
