| Would you be interested in a workshop on making a coordinating pillowcase for your quilts?
It is the 'hot dog' method of making a quick pillowcase, good for gifting your quilt or making matching pillowcases for the bed. It's a quick & easy workshop/project. If there's enough interest, I'll add it to the retreat information that I'm putting out soon. Jennifer |

| Not my cup tea but I can do other things while you're doing that. |

| It's a really easy way to make pillowcases. I made 14 for a bazaar last year, in kiddie prints. They are very wrinkled because I had already folded and ironed them before I decided to take the picture. Theresa |

| I made over 50 of them a few years ago but wouldn't mind making a couple. I had in mind to make some travel pillow size anyway. SharonG/FL-IN (MI this afternoon) |

| Already know how. My sewing machine will be purring away on something else during your workshop, but thanks! For those who are not familiar with this method--it is worth the demo.

| Absolutely, I had thought about making matching ones for all the quilts I gave as gifts last year, maybe that can be their gifts this year. Jackie |

| Yes please! I have already made pillowslips to go with my own quilts, but would be good to see how you do it. Kristene |

| I'm always up to learning something new. My dd is wanting to redo her bedroom, so I could apply this to her new ensemble. What do we need to bring for it? Robbi |

| I'll echo what the others have said: I already make them using this method but if you don't then you'll love finding out how to do it. Very quick and easy. And it turns out a very nice pillowcase! Kate |

| Sounds like you have plenty of interest! I'll probably sit this one out to work on other things. Teresa |

| When Sharon was making her 50 I got caught up it it too and made them for Christmas stocking stuffers. I agree it is a fast project and makes a very nice pillowcase. I think it will be fun! |
