And the pile is growing bigger...
I have lost count of how many there are. But over 50 for sure.
And I made these from scraps...
One of my daughter's friends, well, she is my friend, too...sent me a link to making these masks. She is a nurse at a hospital in Indy and said they could use some. I only had one package of the elastic so could only make these 7. I have ordered elastic, but it says it will be up in May before it comes. But we shall see. I have to go to Walmart to pick up a prescription and I am going to check while there.
See that red fabric with the cars, etc? A quilt shop I go to has a plastic bin they throw their scraps in. I am assuming from the classes they teach. And one can fill up a gallon ziploc bag and buy it for $5. You never know what will be in the bin. You choose what you want. They even encourage me to pour it out on the counter if they are not busy. There is a second quilt shop I go to that has a big wire basket with scraps, not quite as cheap as the other place.
Anyway, I got that piece of car fabric, not having any idea what I would do with it, But it was such a nice size for a scrap that I got it. There is still enough of it to make at least two more masks. I figure a guy might like one like that. The very top one with the gold vine/leaves is a fabric I made pjs with, all the rest used for these are from those scraps I buy. The mask is reversible?--not sure what the word is. Each one takes two 6 inch by 9 inch pieces of fabric...so either side can go out. And I use two different fabrics on each one.
While I was picking out fabrics for these, I found two scraps of orange that I will use for leaves...and also found a scrap of orange fabric I used in a dress for Lorelei. I was so happy to find it...I had been meaning to look for it but kept forgetting.

I am still waiting on fabric to finish my other project...the fabric is supposed to be here Saturday. Hopefully when it comes I can get busy with that.
I hope all of you are okay while we stay home. The staying home does not bother me too bad...though I would dearly love to get out for a slow, rambling drive. For the most part, I have really enjoyed not getting up and getting ready to leave ever morn.
Normally, I try to find a little something funny to post...but today I leave you with a 7 yr. old...
Hope you enjoyed it...I hate to think what I would have sounded like at that age, not that it isn't even worse now.
