3054 pillowcases made their way to Minnesota Hospitals in 2012! Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers for making ConKerr Cancer such a huge success.
Take a look at what has been happening in the last months of 2012.
Thanks to Sue and Jeannette of Quilt Yourself for their support of ConKerr Cancer over the years. I still remember the first (crazy) sewing event Quilt Yourself hosted. We had volunteers running to local quilt stores for more fabric. We had sewers anxiously waiting for fabric to be cut. We had volunteers coming and going all day. Through all of the chaos we brought into their shop, Sue and Jeannette took it all in stride. Thank you, Sue and Jeannette, for helping Bennett kick off the Minnesota Chapter of ConKerr Cancer in 2010. We wouldn't have been this successful without you!
Counting the 265 pillowcases brought in, we hit 400 pillowcases for the day!!
We held a sewing day at the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital. This event showed us that pillowcases are for everyone! In addition to patients, we had a group of fun ladies, who were waiting for a new arrival to their family, stop by and sew with us:
A Thank You from Children's Hospital in Minneapolis for our recent delivery of pillowcases:
Our hearts went out to the families and friends of Sandy Hook Elementary School. ConKerr Cancer volunteers across the country sent pillowcases to the kiddos in Newton, Connecticut. Here is our box of love:
