Face Masks 3

Posted on May 27, 2020 | 7 comments

I thought I was done making face masks.

I really did.

But then the oldest grandson called. He said that his co-workers wanted face masks.

And he said he loves me.

So I made twelve more (not all are pictured).

Face Masks 2 (This is where you will find the pattern that I am using.)

I have made more bow tie blocks. This brings the count to 628.

Stay safe! Stay healthy!

Quilt on!

Has a bee ever landed on you, and instead of getting scared, you appreciate the possibility that you got confused for a flower? -Unknown

Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers. -Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it, so it goes on flying anyway. -Mary Kay Ash

It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted. -Mary O’Connor

“Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.” – John Harrigan

“The little boy nodded at the peony and the peony seemed to nod back. The little boy was neat, clean and pretty. The peony was unchaste, dishevelled as peonies must be, and at the height of its beauty.(…) Every hour is filled with such moments, big with significance for someone.”
― Robertson Davies, What’s Bred in the Bone

Nothing is more wistful than the scent of lilac, nor more robust than its woody stalk, for we must remember that it is a tree as well as a flower, we must try not to forget this. –Stevie Smith
