Pillowcase Workshop

Tuesday, March 30, we gathered at Hollin Hall Senior Center to make pillowcases for those in need. We set the stage with several work stations, employed assembly-line techniques
and after 3 1/2 hours we completed 84 beautiful pillowcases finished inside and out with no raw edges! The twelve participants had a great time working together and enjoyed lots of good conversation while we worked.

Our fearless leader, Lynne Fishburn, kept us busy using management skills learned while touring a Ford Assembly plant.
