One Million Pillowcase Challenge Event
Friday, September 10th from 12 - 5pm & Sunday, September 12th from 1-5pm
We are challenging you to join the 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. We will have kits available for sale or bring your own fabric and we'll provide the rest. Once you donate your pillowcase we will give you a coupon for 5% off your purchase. You can donate up to 4 pillowcases.
Quilts for Hope
Our "Quilts for Hope" kick-off for the Seattle Union Gospel Mission's NEW Hope Place, for women and children, was a great success and we have already begun to see the quilts come in. But we still need more, we are accepting any donated finished quilts or quilt tops. For more information about Hope Place or Quilts for Hope and how you can help, please click on our page to the left.
Project Linus
We are a year-round drop off point for finished blankets. All blanket styles are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors. Always remember that blankets must be homemade, washable, free of pins, and come from smoke-free environments due to allergy reasons. Project Linus is a national non-profit organization with the mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteers.
