1 Million Pillowcase Challenge

Make a difference by making and donating a pillowcase.

Cottage Quilts is one of the participating stores for American Patchwork and Quilting's 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge. Bring in a completed pillowcase and we will display it in our store window before sending it off to a deserving youth or senior organization. We have a free pattern in our store and pillowcase making workshops!

Would your group like to get together for a pillowmaking session? Contact Carolyn and we'll schedule our class room for you. Or, join us for one of our scheduled workshops. To make it easy for you, we have pillowcase kits and a free pattern.

More information and additional free patterns can be found here .

Buy 3 Pillowcase Kits and get the 4th one free. Just mention Pillowcase Party in the Special Shipping Instructions box during checkout and we'll manually deduct the least expensive kit from your invoice.

Pillowcase Workshop

Saturday was our first Pillowcase Workshop. A big thank you to everyone who dropped by the store! And, another big thank you to everyone for your donations.

Peggy whipped up a Travel Pillow using a heart embossed pink Minkee and a black and white zebra print for the cuff. It's so cute. it would make a great travel pillow, a child's pillow, or comfort pillow. I'm going to add the fabric measurements to our free handout, but in the meantime here they are:

Travel Pillow

Body: 30" x 20"
Accent Trim: 30" x 2"
Cuff: 30" x 8"

Next, we will be working out the measurements for a Teen Body Pillow using Minkee!



Class Schedule

I finally have the class schedule for February through May online and in the store.

Remember that we constantly add classes, so check back to see what's new!
