July - another month of COVID 19

Quilt of Valor -  MaryQuilts pattern

Amy has caught the masking-making bug.  At last count, she was at 100!  She has offered them for sale to her co-workers.  Her's are reversible and she's adding a school logo or monogram.  Go Amy!

Week 4 of Quarantine


Found a new pattern for making face masks and I really like it.  It is the Valami pattern by Ami Simms and Valli Schiller.  Main difference is the edges are bound, much like a quilt.  I'm using strips of t-shirts for ties. 


I bound the Quilt of Valor that Nancy Carr and I made for her dad, Ron Ballog.  I took it to her this week and suggested that she give it to him now and then borrow it back and present it to him in a QOV presentation later - if we're ever able to meet in large groups again!
