The Pillowcase Ladies

When Dianne Hickey retired she decided she would only do charity work. So for the past 18 years she and a group of 15 to 26 ladies  have met once a week to help sew, stuff, cut, etc. Dianne loves to do all the embroidery work.

They make whatever their charities are needing, such as quilts, pillowcases, telemetry bags, geo buttons, stuffed snowmen and small pillows to name a few. They are all donated to Cook Children’s Hospital, Denton County MHMR (mental health and mental retardation),

Last year they gave out over 2600 items.

Dianne shared “We have been so blessed, we have a special needs child who is the love of our life. We look at what she has and know there are so many special needs children and adults that are not so lucky. We all need to give to as many people as we can that need us.”
