H2H 2020 quilt progress

This is the progress on my quilt top for the 2020 Comfort Quilt Challenge, hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. On the next progress link party, this pattern will be more visible. All of the completed quilts will be donated to seriously ill patients and their families. I have participated for several years, and in 2019 it really "hit home". My own twin sister received a quilt. Sadly, she passed not long after that. This Challenge is truly a worthy cause. Visit the link party to see more progress on many other quilts.

More fabric face masks

Here are a few more fabric face masks that I have sewn. You might recognize three of them from the previous post. The elastic ear loops, gathering and pleating did not work so well for my ears and face, so I took the masks apart and used another style pattern. This pattern is from: Julie at The Crafty Quilter, and is the version with ties. The curved smooth design fits my face perfectly. The lime and white print mask was also sewn in this batch. 'Couldn't resist, as green is my favorite color. Hoping you all are safe and well. There is stormy weather forecast for us this week, but hoping we miss that. It has been really cold at night, though, in the 40's! How is everything going where you are?

Sewing Meet Up: mini

'Joining-in on a mini quilt party, hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. While we are all in self-quarantine, she got the awesome idea to let's all sew mini quilts or link-up past favorite minis. This block was an orphan from an improv quilt-along a few years ago. Now, it is a 9 3/4" square mini table topper. For this one, the uneven grid machine quilting was done after sewing the top and batting to the backing then turning right side out. 'Love the improv style. Be sure to visit the party, and maybe even make a mini yourself.

Fabric face masks

All of us are terrified of the COVID-19 pandemic, and rightfully so. Many are so graciously offering free fabric face mask patterns. Know that while these are not a substitute for nor as effective as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), they are "better than nothing" to help stop the spread of the virus. These masks are sewn from several free online patterns.

Happy Easter 2020

Happiest Easter wishes to you all. Here it is all rainy and stormy. Even if there were no COVID-19 danger, kiddos surely could not hunt eggs in this weather. Expecting more thunderstorms later this evening, too. 'Been busy sewing Camden Road quilt blocks and staying home, except for occasional food store adventures. Finding hand sanitizer is still impossible. 'Glad I had bought some before this all began. Hoping you all are safe and happy, and able to get the supplies that you need. Looking forward to better environment and more sunshine. Blessings.

Working on Camden Road quilt

Yes, the Camden Road quilt along at: Meadow Mist Designs has ended. Here are two more blocks of the nine for the baby-sized quilt. Life got so hectic and my progress just did not go as planned. The pattern is so awesome, and this quilt will be finished soon. Yesterday I visited some of your blogs and commented. 'Will be doing that more often from now on, just like before. Again, thanks to all of you for staying with me and for all of the kind comments. What project(s) are you working on?
