Well, if you ladies have energy left tomorrow, we could always use a few more. Right now, I think there are only two of us that will be sewing.

Linda....I think a sewing lesson can happen.

Alaina. I know your son is also on the Lincoln. How many females are in his unit? I'm going to have WAY too much "girly" pillow cases for my son's squadron. There are only 8 females, but we couldn't help ourselves when we were buying fabric. Too much cool stuff! Then I get home and my husband just rolls his eyes. Didn't think what I'd bought was manly enough. Hence my subsequent fabric shopping trips.
Anyways, if you need more pillow cases for females, I will have some available. You can see some of the pics in the Pillow Cases for the USS Abraham Lincoln group.

Paymaster, about that letter....
I begged and pleaded my case at the Jo-Ann's in Roseville, but the manager said her hands were tied. She suggested that I went on joann.com to get their VIP card. When I tried that, it wouldn't let me, since we're not an "official" non-profit. I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase the frabric, discount or no discount. Then I ran into the same manager again at the cutting counter. She said the main store magager was in that day and she would ask her if they could do something. She ended up giving me an extra 15% off on all future fabric purchases for this project.
She said that in order to get a discount when you send a letter in, it has to be on your organization letterhead and have your non-profit tax ID info. Well, obviously I don't have that, so this is what she thought would be most beneficial for our cause.
