Guam is football theme
another member is in Ohio right now and I emailed her to see if she can get Buckeye and Bengal fabric. Lyn has the Steelers covered and a sailor's mom is getting U of Georgia..
SO, if any of you live in a state that I haven't named, and would like to mail me some fabric, I will make a pillowcase for them. And the sooner the better, as I have a craft fair at the end of the month I need to work on. I need anywhere from 1/4 to 1 yard. your choice. If you just get 1/4 yard, I will make a banded one.
This is exciting! I do have other football fabric and Lyn has some too, but if we can make it specific, that would be better. My son said "mom, anything personal is awesome, but I know that is hard to do." And here, Sarah drops that opportunity into our laps.

I finally got on! Barbara, we are just waiting to hear about the Sea Hawks, otherwise, some very generous moms have found the needed fabric and are mailing/shipping to me.
I told my son tonight what we are doing and it's because he said "anything personal." -

Heard from Barbara and she has the Sea Hawks. We had another addition and his was the Wisconsin Badgers. A contact of mine in WI has found that fabric, so all teams are covered! Thank you all.
I am making the Packers and Cowboys today to get those 4 out of the way.
And please post pictures in the Guam group before you mail their pillowcases.
We will plan to mail on 9-30. I just can't be ready before then. Also, I was thinking that we should wrap them in tissue paper and put their names on them. What do you think? -

Thanks for letting me know, Sue. When one orders from an unknown site, it is good to know the company sends the stuff. Now, I look forward to seeing the pictures of the completed pillowcases.

Hi Kimmy, well the current lists that I am keeping at the computer are for: sub pillowcases, Guam pc's and a tea party for Curves ladies. haha. I have a great memory, BUT as I get oolder I am finding that I need more lists. works for me. I am crossing off the finished pillowcases for Guam in green, so it stands out.
I got the Georgia bulldog fabric today! It's wonderful. thank you Laura, Matthew's mom. -

Ok, I finally got the embroidery done. I had a heart left over that was just a little different from the batch I send Sue so I put it on too. -
-
-
I just want to double check and make sure we are sending our pillowcases and package directly to the address you gave us and not to Sue. I have a few things on my plate at the moment and don't want to mess something up.
Thanks! -

Send it direct to the Guam group Carolyn. We are shooting to mail on the 30th as the HAE group. That way they will hopefully arrive about the same time.
I hear you about the plate-that's why I have so many lists.
Barbara, so sorry about that. I hate it when I do stuff like that. I've ripped a few pillowcase apart cause I sewed them inside out on 1 side. -
