The pillowcases are beginning to pour in. Maybe I should say fly in since they are coming form so many directions!
Today I have a dozen from Daisy and as all of the pillowcases have been, hers are lovely.
and look how cute these are.
A goose with it's wing in a sling,
Thank you Daisy for your lovely contribution. With Daisy's addition, that puts us at 276. I have so many coming in, so next week there will be a number of pillowcase posts. I think that everyone should be featured for their generosity.
In the off chance that you do not know about the project, I am collecting 900 handmade pillowcases for the Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, Washington. I have committed to making 200 of the 900, so I actually need 700 donated cases. Each child who is admitted to the hospital is given the opportunity to choose a pillowcase for their own. How lovely for them to be able to rest their head on a pillowcase made with love. At this point we are well on our way to the half way mark of 450 pillowcases. I should be able to do the big hanging of the 450 the week of August 12th. I couldn't get through the video I did for the first 100 without crying. I'm going to be a basket case over 450!!!!! I'm so excited about reaching this point and I thank everyone who has helped. It means the world.
If you would like to make a few or even just one, here is a link to the simplified instructions that I did, http://www.rhondabuss.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-simplified-pillowcase-instructions.html. And if you would like to see the previous posts that I've done, including the celebration of the first 100, you can find all the posts here, http://www.rhondabuss.blogspot.com/search/label/Mary%20Bridge.
the children are just going to love these - such a fabulous project
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see it all coming together/)
DeleteThis project shows such generosty of spirit...yours Rhonda for beingthe moderator and all the people who are contributing. Bravo for you all!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this far too much to get any points for being generous!!!!! Everyone's creativity and generosity is so very inspiring.
DeleteRhonda is an inspiration and it was my pleasure to help out in a very small way.
ReplyDeleteYou were a BIG help Daisy! Thanks so much for your contribution to the project.
DeleteMy daughter was 6 months old when she had to have a big strawberry birthmark that kept causing issues removed from the back of her neck. When we got to pre-op they gave her a pink Dora pillowcase, I didn't know they did this, she's almost 4 now & still loves it! I'm a little busy right now, but I'm going to try to contribute & give back to this project.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. This is exactly why I wanted to do this probject, not just for the children but for the parents as well. When you are going through something so difficult, I think it is very comforting to know that there are people who care. If you have time, whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!! Rhonda
