May I add another note to this thread? AllPeopleQuilt.com is hosting a challenge this calender year in hopes of having one million pillowcases made and donated. If you made or make pillowcases for any good cause or organization or such this year, please consider registering your donation with them! The count is sadly behind goal, we are half way through the year and only about 10% there. They are encouraging folk to donate locally, you just tell them how many and such, they are not a donation site per se. The idea is to spread a little joy around for those who really need it the most.

Thanks for letting us know, Catherine! Sounds like a good way to contribute!
I had planned to make up my donation after returning from Haiti, and if anyone wants to join me in making pillowcases, just let me know.
Beth?

Hi ladies! How funny to have found this post! I'm mother hen to a group out here in California and we took up the million pillowcase challenge this year with the intention of donating all of our pillowcases to our local children's hospital around Christmas time. You can get some really easy directions by googling 1 million pillowcase challenge and hit the patterns link. I waited until flannels went on sale this summer at the fabric store and for less than $10, I made 7 nice snuggly flannel pillowcases. I know they will be better than those scratchy hospital sheets! When my brother had cancer (at 23, he's been cancer free for 2 years now in November!) he hated his stays in the hospital and always took a blanket with him to make him feel like SOMETHING there was his. SO I really appreciate that you ladies are doing this and I can tell you first hand, the importance of having something YOUR OWN that's special and unique with you during a long hospital stay. Keep up the good work gals!!!
Oh and if you want to check them out, you can see pictures of my pillowcases on my blog listed below.

Mmmm...you got me thinking ahead on sales, Joanna! I work at Joann's Fabrics and the day after Thanksgiving, our basic print flannels are always $1.50 a yard. Since my store is a Linus Project drop-off spot, I usually buy & sew flannel for that cause but this year I think I will make soft pillowcases. Thanks for prompting the idea!!
