Pillowcase Time!

We've teamed up again in 2016 with American Patchwork & Quilting for the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge. The concept is simple: make a pillowcase and donate it to an organization in your community. Add your donation numbers to the online pillowcase counter and watch as the number creeps closer to the 1,000,000 goal. (The total number of pillows donated is almost 687,000 right now!) A small amount of fabric and a half hour's worth of sewing is such a gift to someone's life! 

Here are the latest free patterns on AllPeopleQuilt.com, shown in our fabrics.
