Sign of the times

After a whole afternoon of trial and error I found a mask pattern which works for me. I have got to make sure these survive the wash and then I can make a few more. It is horrible wearing a face mask but I think we will have to wear them for shopping etc at some point.

one week in....

Last Wednesday I was sent home from work due to the Coronavirus - I could be off for 12 weeks or then again I could get a phone call to go back any day. I have decided to have a Positive Mental Attitude and look forward to plenty of sewing time. Just before all this kicked off Mark and me went shopping for a day at Rushden Lakes. They have a magazine shop and I bought a copy of Quiltmania as there was a pattern that caught my eye - I never buy magazines. Anyway, the pattern calls for something like 2800 HST at a size of 1.5". This is my mission!! I am going to do a "sheet" of blocks a day. I have done all the HSTs in one colour way and am part way through the second phase.
