Members of the Blue Ridge
Homemakers Club delivered a
handmade pillowcase to each resident at Pruitt Health Care of Blue
Ridge July 21, 2014, hoping to
bring a bit of cheer to the residents.
It began a few months ago when
Janet Locke, one of the newest
members of the Blue Ridge Homemakers, presented a workshop on
making a pillowcase with fully
enclosed seams and no raw edges.
Members then went to work gathering over 100 yards of fabric. The
fabric was cut and handed out to
members who sew. Fourteen members worked diligently to make 106
pillowcases. The cases were then
pressed, folded, labeled, and delivered to the residents.
Each resident was delighted with
the pillowcase which had been seOHFWHGIRUKLPRUKHUORWVRIÀRZers and fancy prints for the ladies
and outdoor scenes and colorful
plaids for the gentlemen. Members
enjoyed going from room to room
presenting the special gifts and
sharing in the smiles which showed
on the faces of the residents.
