CAMP AMIGO Charity Project

The children who attend Camp Amigo for burn victims are given upon arrival a back pack filled with “goodies” such as T-shirts, mugs, etc. After speaking with the directors, we agreed that a pillowcase would be an excellent item for the goody bag. So, I am asking all quilter’s to raid their stash and contribute to this worthwhile charity project. I have provided two links for directions on how to make them. It will only take just a few minutes of time to leave a lasting smile on the face of a child! Any completed pillowcases can be given to Cathy Jones until our June Guild meeting as the camp takes place in July. Let’s Sew!!

 The pillowcases will be used for children between the ages of 6-16, boys and girls, so it would be good to have a variety of age appropriate fabric selections. There will be 50 campers.

 Once the pillowcase is made, please wash and press. Place in a zip-lock bag to distribute. (These are for burn victims, so we want them to be free of extra chemicals which are on the fabric from the store).
