Pillowcase instructions for Wednesday

Pillowcase Specifications
for Ronald McDonald House
Per ASG Headquarters’ Web site -
www.asg.org - the dimensions for
pillowcases to be sent to the
Albuquerque Ronald McDonald House
are 21” x 32”, and should be made of
100% cotton in children’s prints and
bright colors. Per photos on the Web
site, the pillowcases do not require a
separate border and can be made
entirely of one fabric.
Many free pillowcase patterns can be
found on the Internet and ASG
headquarters recommends that you
simply enter “pillow case pattern” in
your search engine and take your pick.
Or, since some of our
pillowcases will go to ConKerr,
following are their instructions.
Please note that these are slightly larger
than the above and have a border.
