I love your fabric choices!<br />Quayquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563998466278656599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-26786421747537538942020-05-07T15:16:47.677-04:002020-05-07T15:16:47.677-04:00I hear you ( or not ) on seeing what people are sa...I hear you ( or not ) on seeing what people are saying. Makes a difference. Tone of voice, facial expression and 6 feet away makes for some possibility of iffy communications. lol<br />The mask I am making is similar to yours. 3 pleats... but... there is a nose wire at the top...an opening in the bottom so extra filter material can be used...and ties instead of elastic. I am also putting a layer of non woven iron on Pellon in the center. Using ties because I ran out of elastic early and our local hospital asked for ties so that the mask could be sterilized and hold up better. <br />On the creative front I have been using leftover quilt squares and piecing some wild scraps. I quite counting at 200... Just trying to make sure I have about a dozen here ready to go now but it has slowed down.

It's a funny feeling wearing a mask. I feel like I have to take it off to talk. But I'll get used to it. My hearing is bad and I'll not be able to lip-read. That will be the hard part for me. Oh well. Are you making masks like mine? Or the other rounded shape? Prints? Any suggestions for me? Take care.Selvage Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830455480591075005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-89208997617036238722020-05-07T09:56:34.137-04:002020-05-07T09:56:34.137-04:00

I am as they say of a certain age, but other then that not at risk because of other underlying factors. <br />I am not wearing a mask from fear but out of concern for others fears. I think a lot of people here are. Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651396265516069702noreply@blogger.com
