We have lots of masks available for FREE! We'd love you and yours to have one to keep us all safe. We have them made with 1/4 inch elastic and elastic hair-ties around the ears.
We also have a hospital tie style.
We were running low on masculine fabric and a lady that came to the porch to pick-up masks suggested using men's shirts. It wasn't much later that she brought three of her husband's shirts back for me to try.
We are also trying to help out with the pressure from the elastic around the ears with headbands.
Cutting fabric and getting ready to sew. I will be sewing a little bit of everything today.
I have a little bit to report. I first want you to know how blown away I am by all the sweet people there are that have joined our little army. If there is ever a need someone brings it to the front door.
The total number of masks made that I know of: 1267
The total that has gone off the front door: 498
I just don't even know how to tell the next part of our story. We have never asked for anyone to pay for a mask or a headband. We have never asked for anything in return but donations have come in, in a way that is so hard for me to talk about. I cry every time I try to tell someone the story. And the story needs to be told. There is so much good that is coming out of all this craziness and it is the good in people. Tokens of appreciation have been left on the bench on our front porch. Things like cookies from Pop's Donuts that look like someone with a surgical mask on, flower arrangments, sweet notes of thank you, and donations. One week we collected $450.00 that was donated to the First Responders Fund at Eastside Christian Church for their You Are Greater Than I Campaign. Each week there is a designated organization that we will be helping with what donations come to the porch. Last week our donations ($160.00) were designated to help Milford First Church of God which just lost their pastor. This coming week all donations will be earmarked for Feed Our Flock.

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
