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
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!
