Ok craftgrrls! Let's get this going!
We're going to be making pillowcases for
Mary Bridge Children's Hospital and delivering them To Sew Expo's
Pillowcase Patrol LJ has agreed to be the collection point for our pillow cases. So when you are done making them send your package off to:
Craftgrrl Crafts for Charity
c/o LiveJournal Inc.
580 Market St. Ste 500
San Francisco, CA 94104 USA
From there they will be shipped off to
mschilepepper who will take them over to
Sew expo.
In order to get them there in time the pillow cases must be received no later than 2/22/12.
Here's some patterns/tutorials that were suggested:

I'd really like to collect 900 pillowcases which is about a months supply. It's ambitious and probably unobtainable but lets give it a try! Please spread this post far and wide so we can get all the help we'd need to possibly reach that goal.
