Keeping Our Distance



The girls and I seem to be getting a lot of quilting done, however, we have also been making masks.  It is a good thing that we all have such awesome fabric stashes, to draw on, at times like these.  We are making masks using batik fabrics, as they are a tighter weave of cotton; two layers in each mask.  We have used up all our elastic, but we can make masks with ties.  Kirsten has been doing some slow hand-quilting on her Civil War Nine Patch quilt.  She got three lines done this week!  She and Jane are having a look at it, as shown in the photo, above.  She and Jane are trying to keep their distance, but are wearing their masks just to be extra safe.  Be safe out there, and stay home and quilt, sew, read a book, do your nails, run around in the back yard, plant some seeds, replace light bulbs, refill the bird feeder, tie-dye some fabric, build something from wood scraps, take a nap in the yard, try new recipes, like the coffee cake recipe on the brown sugar bag (but you need sour cream for that .  .).  Keep checking back on our blog!
