Great news, Barbara. Isn't it great when you receive a bunch of fabric. It's just like Christmas! And it allows me to do sewing I could not do otherwise.

Right now I have 35 pillowcases that are made with patriotic material. My friend made them and some of them are not the full size pillowcase but smaller because she has a friend who has a daughter in the Air Force and she said that sometimes the pillows they have while out are smaller so she made some of these smaller for that purpose. She is making others that are full size as well. Since she donated the material and her time to make them I didn't not want to take them. Can we use these for the mystery project?

What are the measurements?
-

Matt's mom, she is right, the pillows are small. At least they were on the Lincoln, That's why I brought home the pillowcase that a sailor was leaving behind, cause I knew that it fit.
try a smaller one on a pillow. how does it fit? I have a crew member who makes them alittle smaller and they still fit my pillows.
so no worries! we will use them. but please measure and let us know, so we can decide the best way to use them.
make sense? -

I heard from my contact today. We are still moving forward but I am unable to tell at this point. But I know each one of you will want to have a part of this special project.
So even if you only make one, go for it. Especially with the cute notecards that Dori made up. Please let her know what you can do. -

okay SCORE!!!!! I got 33 from crew members today, and I made 8 this weekend. So that brings my totals to this:
125 for the mystery project FIRM, unless I get a better offer. haha. just teasing.
29 generic
24 female
4 duplicates
Please note: I took 116 for the NG unit 8 days ago and now I have received more than I took. ISN'T God GREAT!!!!
p.s. I actually knew on Friday that the 33 were done and I would get them today at our tea.
Curves ladies rock!
So Dori, please give me a detailed list of who is doing what, so we know where we stand. I have fabric out to 4 of my crew members still. Plus I have about 10 pcs cut out for this project. -
