Monthly heart-pillow stuffing party

When: the third Tuesday of every month (except December) – 17/9 at 14:00–16:00
Where: Det Gamle Posthus, Gilleleje Stationsvej 6, Gilleleje (less than 2 minutes’ walk from Gilleleje Station)
Contact: Nancy Friis-Jensen (nfriisjensen@gmail.com)

The Heart Pillow Project is looking for volunteers to stuff pillow cases and sew them up in Gilleleje. We meet once a month, and offer coffee and cake to speed the work.

The parties take place on the third Tuesday of each month.

If Gilleleje is too far to go, or you’re busy on Tuesdays, consider donating good-quality cloth to make pillow ½cases or sewing the pillow cases at home (see below for further info).

The Heart Pillow Project was started in 2006 to help ease the pain of breast-cancer patients. The project is financially supported by the Danish Breast Cancer Organization, and hospitals give the pillows to patients free of charge. The pillows are made by 15 volunteer groups (including AWC Denmark since the beginning) throughout Denmark. The project makes about 3,000 pillows per year, so any willing hands are welcome!

Can you sew pillow cases?
Some AWC volunteers are making cases for the heart pillows, and more are much needed. Will you join them, or can you suggest someone else to do so? Contact Mary Stewart Burgher (30506356; emessbe@yahoo.com) to get the pattern and instructions.

Café Craft is for people to meet to chat and craft together on a Saturday, while enjoying a cup of coffee (or tea) and brunch at Salonen. Our only goal is to relax and do our crafts – –in good company. Any craft project is welcome! Non-crafters also!

This group is really lively – feel free to join us whether you are currently working on a craft or not. Café Craft will meet throughout the summer.
