Friends with masks

 

It's been a week since I put out a call for pictures of readers in masks, and I got a baker's dozen responses. (Appropriate, since it seems everyone is baking during these coronavirus days.)

First up, I want to recognize two nurses on the front lines. The first one is my sister Kathleen, who works at the hospital in Port Townsend, WA. Second one is my friend Susan, a neonatal intensive care unit nurse in Rockford, IL. Let's hear it for all of our nurses who have to wear those masks and shields 8-10 hours a day!

And here is what Dawn in Gig Harbor had to say on Facebook about wearing masks. (I made the fancy drink mask.)Next are some friends with plants: Sherry, Mary and Judy, all from Washington state where the gardens are gorgeous:

Sheila's mask seems to me to reflect the clouds behind her in Idaho:

My sister Terry in Louisville poses with a fun fiber crow that she made:

Donna in Gig Harbor, WA, is in front of her Gig Harbor quilt on the design wall:

Gerrie in Portland used leftover backing from her latest quilt for her mask:

Carol from Gig Harbor relaxes with her "Covid Summer" quilt:

Ann from Gig Harbor is in front of a Comfort Quilt (for cancer patients) that she made from mask scraps:

Susan, from Port Townsend wears a mask that goes with the art behind her:

Thanks to everyone who sent me photos!!!And these are more masks that I just made to send off to non-sewing friends:Note: Blogger just changed its formatting on me and I haven't figured it all out yet, so this post won't look like I want it to look. I couldn't figure out how to caption the photos or how to completely control the look of the text or position of photos. And it won't let me preview it before I post, so it's going to be a surprise when I hit "publish." I'm working on it.

Have a colorful day
