National Quilting Day - Late Posting

My Preparation day fell on my favorite Quilty Holiday!!

NATIONAL QUILTING DAY 

I had big plans to get my Frolic Quilt to a flimsy...

Alas, other projects were proposed.

Making Facemasks.

I had that Bandana fabric from my 

Hancock Fabrics days.

I stuck it in my bag at the last minute in January when we left home.

I made 3 sets of His & Hers Facemasks.

Elder Crowther humored me and posed.

He hates things over his mouth.

I gave one to our Mission President. 

It was his Birthday. 

 He gave me 2 thumbs up.
Sister Johnson said, "I want one!"
Of course, I delivered one to her later.

I used a You Tube Tutorial.

Then adapted it to put a pocket on the back.

I used selvages for the ties.

Twist ties zigzagged into the seam on top.

Bendable to allow breathing thru your nose.

I brought a few Quilts so since I didn't have a Porch, I hung them on the Fence.
My Marti Mitchell BOM from 2013
"The Romance Continues"
And the Denim Picnic Quilt we used for between Sessions of General Conference
We liked having a Picnic lunch on the lawn at Pasco Stake Center.

Maybe we can have a Picnic here in Nebraska between Conference Sessions

March Comes in like a LION

I haven't Blogged and I have missed it.

I email my thoughts on Sundays and run out of words, I guess.

My solo trip to get supplies to make new mattresses for the Cabin here was very interesting.

I got Ticking and 120" wide Muslin at JoAnn's with my 60% off coupon. 

Then I went to Office Max/Depot

Have you ever seen a Fit so full of Packing Pellets?

The Big Bags were buy 2, get 1 FREE.

Good thing I left Elder Crowther Home.

I'm glad I went when I did!

The traffic gets crazy in the late afternoon.

I enjoyed a trip to Costco, Chick-Fil-A and Krispy Kreme too. 

It snowed as predicted.

Gotta smile, it is called Winter Quarters!

For our Preparation Day I got to work on my "Frolic" Quilt.

I sewed sashings to 2 sides of the Blocks that were done and made 3 more.

I have parts cut to make all 25 Blocks, but it is slow going. 

Especially when I don't pay attention to which Flying Geese go with each block.

Gotta match those corner HST's.

Still debating on whether I will make the Half and corner Blocks.

A LOT of events have been cancelled or postponed.

Sad to hear, but it will be for the good of our Health and our country to be

Socially Distanced. No BIG Gatherings.

Take care and keep on Praying for an end to the Corona Virus.
