Remember

How would you like to help make the holiday season for some service men and women special? I am so grateful to those in the military that serve our country. Melissa and Kristy want to make a gift for each of the soldiers that are in the same battery as Melissa's husband. They are asking fellow bloggers to make a pillow case or e-reader cover. I am going to help. Would you consider helping  too? There will be tutorials for the e-readers and pillowcases on the blogs so you don't have to worry about trying to find a pattern.
You can read all the information and see photos of Melissa, her husband, and their sweet daughter on her blog. You can also get more information from Kristy's blog about how to send your gifts.
And if you make a pillow case you can add it to American Patchwork and Quilting Pillowcase challenge going on right now. You can make a pillow case, donate to Melissa and Kristy and then let APQ know that you made a donation so that they can reach their goal of one million pillowcases donated.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
