Since 2010,American Patchwork & Quilting has been challenging quilters, crafters, and sewers across the country to help reach the goal of donating 1 million pillowcases to local charities.Since inception, more than 687,000 pillowcases have been recorded on the challenge website. Handi Quilter is proud to be a sponsor of the Million Dollar Pillowcase Challenge, along with other sponsors, including Baby Lock, Coats, Free Spirit Fabric, Martingale, Moda Fabrics, Northcott, Paintbrush Studio, Robert Kaufman, and Timeless Treasures Fabrics.
American Patchwork & Quilting is hosting the third annual One Million Pillowcase Challenge 24-Hour Sew-a-Thon at its headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa. Starting at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, September 16 and running through 3:00 P.M. on Saturday, September 17, the public is invited to Meredith Corporation to sew pillowcases for local Des Moines charities. However, quilters not in the Des Moines area are encouraged to join in the fun and make their own pillowcases to donate to charities in their local area.
More than 1,480 pillowcases were made at the event in 2015 and distributed to Central Iowa charities such as Blank Children’s Hospital, Youth Emergency Services and Shelter, Rebuilding Together, Child Serve, Hope Ministries, Orchard Place, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Services in Iowa, and Children’s Cancer Connection.
Handi Quilter has donated the sew-off quilts that are created as part of the testing process of Handi Quilter machines after they are built. The sew-offs will become pillowcases as part of this weekend’s Sew-a-Thon. We invite shops and guilds to let us know if they are interested in making pillowcases (or even quilts) from our sew-off quilts, and we will send them some sew-offs to use.
It’s not to late for you to become involved in the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. American Patchwork & Quilting magazine even has more than 50 pillowcase patterns to choose from if you need some inspiration.
