September is quite a busy month this year! It’s National Sewing Month, it’s Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month, and our friends at Ryan’s Case For Smiles (formerly Conkerr
Cancer) are delivering their one millionth pillowcase this month! We thought we’d have a little contest that combines
all three, and will bring some smiles to kids that need them.
As you may or may not know, Ryan’s Case for
Smiles mission is to deliver fun and cheerful pillowcases to children who have
been diagnosed with a life-changing illness or injury. Unfortunately, that means they need lots of
fun and cheery pillowcases. We’d like to
send them a big stack to help them with their mission, so we’re having a pillowcase contest!
To enter, all you have to do is make two pillowcases per the
specifications on the Case for Smiles website: http://caseforsmiles.org/sewingpreparing-pillowcases/
Once they’re done, send them to us here at Arrow. When the contest is over, we’ll draw a random name from all of the entries and send
them one of our adorable thread caddies!
We have listed the complete rules below, please read them
over carefully, and if you have any questions, email us at
rebecca@arrowcabinets.com.
With your help, we know that we can make lots of smiles for
some sick kids!
The Rules (please read carefully):
1. Make two
pillowcases following the guidelines posted here on the Case For Smiles
website: http://caseforsmiles.org/sewingpreparing-pillowcases/ Remember, these are for kids, so they should
be bright and cheery (you may think that rose print fabric is the bomb, but
trust us, the kids won't)!
2. Wash your cases in
unscented detergent (and please don’t use dryer sheets), seal them in a ziploc
bag, and mail them to us at:
Arrow Cabinets
PO Box 307
Delavan, WI 53115
Please make sure you include your name and return
address! Pillowcases from pet-friendly
homes are great, just make sure you bag them immediately after they are washed
and dried.
3. Cases need to be
received by Wednesday Sept. 30th, 2015 to be eligible.
4. We will select a
one random winner from the eligible entries to receive a thread caddy.
Please feel free to share this contest with all of your
sewing friends, we'd love to send a big stack!
