Friends of the Elderly, Veterans and Disabled in Need of Masks

A note to our membership from Cheryl Anne Blood <lighthouse1261@gmail.com>:

We make reusable masks and distribute them to subsidized residences of elderly, veterans and disabled individuals across Pennsylvania.  We are hoping you will join us in our efforts to provide the most vulnerable with at least one reusable mask that will protect them.  Some of these individuals either don't have masks or they are wearing disposable masks that are torn or dirty.  

Please contact her directly for information on where to send masks and what style she needs OR check back here for updates.

Webmaster's July Challenge: Just how "creative" can we get to face the public?

Are you getting tired of making utilitarian CDC/WHO standardized masks? Change it up a bit for a Webmaster's July Challenge.  Make a mask that's fun, perhaps utilitarian or not, but mostly fun.  Make it personalized (think Best Grandma), glitzy with jewels, feathers, and sequins, scary, historic (think Plague Doctor), for Halloween, FastNacht, or Mardi Gras, for children, patchwork. Anything goes.  Use whatever you have available, fasten it however appropriate.  Just have fun with a mask for once.

Send a picture to ldemmert@verizon.net to be included here whenever you get it finished. No deadline.

Leslie Demmert--Nothing says, "I'm a quilter" like an orphan block mask.  The red were flying geese left over from 2017 Guild Challenge. The HST etc were just left over.
