I really should crop that one.

Any one can participate in the pillowcase chalenge. The thrust of it is to donate in your own community. They suggest that there are many places these can be donated, nursing homes, chemo clinics, sick, abused, and negelexted children. All the information is available at the American Patchwork and Quilting website. Be sure to visit there to record any that you donate, you don't need a shop to do it.
I got the people I work with at a Hancock Fabrics to make some and our first collection was 62. We will do another collecion in September and hope to at least double that number.

Thanks, Kwiltykahy, for adding what you did. I hope you encouraged even more people to make and donate pillow cases. I bet you do double that amount in Sept. You are all great.
I used to work at Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa and I saw pictures on one web site where they were handing out pillow cases to the kids there. What a great feeling. And, what a great hospital that is. My kids were both born at Iowa Methodist Medical Center and Blank is just the peds hospital section of Iowa Methodist. That sure did make me feel good, so I knew they are going to some good places.
