PILLOWPALOOZA TWO!!

To celebrate the Anniversary of Diggin' It on July 28th 10 - 5, Christine of Hens & Chicks will be having a PillowPalooza (formerly known as Pillowfest). She will bring her sewing machine to Diggin' It to make one knife edge (finished edge has no cording or fringe) pillow cover for free and a second pillow for $20l! Total value for two pillow covers is $60. There is no obligation to have a second pillow made, so you can enjoy a freebie if you choose. Just bring your fabric, zipper and measurements for your pillow and you will be hooked up. Size limit for this offer is 30" x 30". They do not have to be square, the size is your choice. You will furnish the stuffing... Hint: IKEA carries a 20" x 20" down pillow form for only $7.
If you have any questions about what to do or bring, contact Christine at hens_chix@yahoo.com . There are a limited number of pillows that can be made in a day, so cut off time for fabric drop off is noon, no more than thirty free pillows total will be made. For a second pillow offer of $20 those will be finished by the following Friday. First come, first serve. No reservations and must be present for offer.
