A Pillowcase Bonanza

On occasion, my online quilting group likes to make pillowcases for a worthy cause, so when we were looking for a new group to sew for, Lonnie suggested her niece. Not just her niece.  Her niece, Elise, and the other brave soldiers serving with her in Kabul, Afghanistan.  In order to include everyone we needed to make a total of 66.  We got right to work and had them in the mail in no time.  

Part of the fun for me was seeing how many combinations I could put together using just my stash.  The challenging part was finding three coordinating fabrics for each pillowcase.  Here's what I ended up making.

Needless to say they were very happy with our gifts.  We got these photos today.


































Just in case you're curious Elise is in the front row in the first photo, third from the left, holding the light green pillowcase.  

I think I can speak for the rest of our group when I say that gifting the things we make is always fun, but seeing those smiling faces makes it even better!
