The One Million Pillowcase Challenge

American Patchwork & Quilting is challenging you to join efforts to Make a Pillowcase and Make a Difference. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident…and make a difference in your community.

To participate, find a shop hosting One Million Pillowcase Challenge events in your area. If there is not a participating shop in your area, you can mail them to a nearby participating retailer or donate them locally.

Here is a link to free pillowcase patterns. Once your pillowcase project is complete and donated locally, you can log on to enter how many pillowcases you made. Above is the pillowcase I made this evening, the dark purple is a hard to see ruffle that I love! I’m going to try and make a few more to help them reach their goal of ONE MILLION Pillowcases!

I had leftover cubed chicken from Pampered Chef’s Chicken and Broccoli Ring (which was fantastic) and was in the mood for BBQ chicken pizza.  I picked up some dough and some shredded mozzarella to add to the remaining fresh mozzarella I had and a can of diced pineapple, added it all on top of a layer of bbq sauce (go easy on the toppings/sauce in the middle). It was a hit with the whole family, if Jason hadn’t eaten so much chicken and drank all the juice, he probably would have had more than once slice.
