Stash Report

I've been sewing but don't have much finished to show for it yet.  Here's a pillowcase I made for my friend's mom today.


I've been making her Peanuts pillowcases for three or four years now, and she has a bunch. Here are a few of them:





The woman I make them for spends a lot of time in bed.  She is in her 80s and has multiple health problems.  My husband keeps asking me if she needs another pillowcase.  The answer is no, but I make them for her because she likes them, not because she needs them. 

Used this week: 1.25 yards (pillowcase, bee block)
Used year to date: 26.625  yards
Added this week: 9.876 (wedding quilt)
Added year to date: 51.0 yards
Net Added yard: 24.375 yards

At least my yards used YTD is greater than my net added!

Can I just say how much I love that you're willing to brighten the space of a life that is often limited to their bed? And a Peanuts pillowcase would make darn near anyone happy.

Those are too cute and it is a wonderful thing that you are doing. What person doesn't like to see bright, cheery pillowcases to put your head on or snuggle with - old or young. Kudos to you.

That's a good reason to make them. Lots of nice pillowcases.

those are all so cute, and sometimes want is as important as need.

Very fun pillow cases. For someone who spends a lot of time with their pillow, it seems like it would be something fun to enjoy.
