One Million Pillowcase Challenge

Calling all quilters, sewers and crafters! American Patchwork & Quilting is challenging you to join our efforts to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Every pillowcase can make a difference in our community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident.

To participate, come on out to Sew Deluxe and join us at our One Million Pillowcase Challenge event.  Don't know how to sew?  That's okay - this is the perfect opportunity to learn some of the basics! Once your pillowcases are complete and donated we will log them into the All People Quilt site to be counted. All pillows will be donated to local charities and will benefit San Antonio residents.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2010
6:30PM - 9:30PM

It's BYOM&F!!

What does that mean? Bring your own machine & fabric! Sew-Deluxe has a few machines but definitely not enough for a whole group. Plus it's so much easier sewing on your own machine. We're also asking that everyone who attends to bring a yard (or more) of 100% cotton woven fabric. If you're unsure of what to get, ask for cotton wovens or "quilting fabrics" at the fabric store.



This event is sponsored by Alamo City Handmade, Sew-Deluxe, and Etsy.  The kind people at AllPeopleQuilt.com will be sending us a box of free materials to make our party a success.

Feel free to bring light snacks, a potluck dish or drinks.
Please RSVP for this event at Meetup for a chance to win a special goody-bag provided by Alamo City Handmade & Sew-Deluxe!

Corazon: A fundraiser & birthday party for Camren Baron

Dear Friends,


I am helping to organize a fundraiser and birthday party for Camren Barron, my cousin Eva Garcia's son.  Camren was born with a congenital heart defect and has endured numerous heart surgeries, hospital stays and doctor's visits. We will be hosting a BBQ plate sale, raffle and silent art auction at Sew-Deluxe on Saturday, September 4th from 4pm to 10pm.

If there is any way that you can contribute any of the following, your kindness would be greatly appreciated.

*Artwork for the Silent Auction
*Raffle items (gift certificates, gift baskets, miscellaneous items)
*BBQ meat, side dishes, deserts, beverages for children and adults, plates, cups, napkins, utensils, charcoal for the Plate Sale
*Monetary contributions to cover the cost of party supplies and to directly help the family.

If you are not able to contribute at this time, we understand. But if you are, we will need to know as soon as possible, and we ask that all donations be received (or arrangements made) by Monday, August 30th. Contact Missy at sewdeluxe@gmail.com or 210-831-4729.
