A Mile of Smiles Pillowcase Party!

It takes 2,112 pillowcases to reach a whole mile. How close can we get? There are two ways to participate in our pillowcase challenge this month.  All pillowcases collected will be donated to ConKerr Cancer.

 
First - Make a standard pillowcase (happy, cheerful kid fabrics plese) and bring it to the shop by Sunday, April  28.  We'll be keeping count and calculating our mileage as we collect.  Every time you bring in 2 pillowcases, you can pick a Mad River poker chip for a discount on an item of your choice!
It's a win-win for ConKerr and you!
 
Second - Join our Pillowcase Party!                
Sunday, April 14
10:30 - 4:00
Stop by for a couple hours or stay for the day.  We'll be in production mode and anxious to see how many pillowcases we can create in a day.
 
On special all month - - 
Pre-cut pillowcase kits for only $10!
