But Wait! There's More! I've been on a mission lately about more blocks - making more than 1 a day! It's so much fun!!

Then I took a day off and worked on another block I've been wanting to do - Stripe Me Lucky, a Jen Kingwell Collective pattern by Michelle McKillop. And it's just as much fun!!! I had to change it, of course! I made the strips wider and left out one round. More Stripe fabric goes between the blocks.
Our county got released from quarantine. Free, Free at last!! BUT don't go wild, there are people out there with the virus. They may not know it, they may not think they are giving it to you, but it is what it is!!
WEAR YOUR MASK - everywhere. Wash it every night (or if you have more than one, change them out) But always wash them between wearing. I throw mine in with the towels, or just wash it with dish soap in kitchen sink. Lay it out on a towel, it'll be dry by morning. If it's double-sided, never switch the side against your face before washing it!!
DON'T GO CRAZY! Yes, it's exhilarating to have choices!! Wear your mask, social distance and if there's a crowd, leave!
AND if anyone gives you crap about wearing a mask. Turn away, make an exit, and make a promise to yourself to NEVER make them a quilt!!! You can tell family that, it just might help keep them in line!!!
I have been to the quilt guild's meeting space 3 times in the last 3 months. We received requests for face masks. We sprang into action and made hundreds of masks, it was amazing!
But the last two times I was there to drop off/pick up something: there were quilters NOT wearing masks! The same ones that were sewing away!! It makes NO sense.
So yesterday we had to pick up challenge fabrics. And we brought our spring challenges. The leader took a picture of us with them. And I wore my mask. She said, "Don't you want to take that off?" And I replied, "NO! This is going on FB and we have to set an example! Wear the mask!" By the end, 3 of the 6 had masks on during our picture!! Think you look silly?? Who cares?? You look safe! You look like you love your family. You look like a caring person who wants this over with quickly, please!
People who wear masks! The two with quilts, coming soon to FB!!
BE SMART! Wear a mask! And if someone says something, leave it on - they don't really know who you are!!!! Just leave anonymously!!! Tee-Hee!

Yes, it is a little wild, but it is also going to be very pretty! It's good to read that your piecing seems to have lifted your spirit! Yes, I know, it's really that you are now free from all the restrictions, but do be careful out there! ---"Love"
