About

Looking for a community service project that will lighten the day for a cancer patient?  

Work with Renae Matson and fellow members of the Fiber Arts Studio and BARN to make colorful and imaginative pillowcases for cancer patients living in Seattle while going through cancer treatment at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Seattle Children's Hospital, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Resource Center.  

Patients coming from all over Washington, the USA, and the world for cancer treatment at these facilities stay at the Pete Gross House, a 70 unit furnished apartment complex. This means they often can not bring much from home to personalize their Pete Gross apartment or make it more cheerful.  Getting something as simple as a pillowcase made with love and creativity can brighten these cancer patient's world and make them feel like people care about what they are going through. 

You don't need to know how to sew to participate in this community service project. 

What to bring:

• Yourself
• Your sewing machine (if you have one)
• Fabric that is colorful and fun (per pillowcase: 3/4 yd; 1/3 yd; 1/8th yard)
