Some scrappy happiness and other sewing

I'm writing my post late.  I had hoped to get another basket finished. But I did not.

This is as far as it is this morning.

Light blue, quilted and cut to size. The handle is on the one end piece. Ready to go together.

This little scrappy quilt came back from the quilter.  Love the pantograph she used. It's called Promise. I don't know the designer.  I love it flowers and hearts. And the name speaks to the life this quilt will have. I am donating to Jack's Basket! The binding is cut. I'll get it on today or tomorrow.

And a bit of a "squirrel" came about yesterday. My middle granddaughter texted and asked me if I would make her a face mask. She lives in Phoenix and has just secured a job with Amazon. Funny story...I asked her earlier if she needed masks. She declined, saying she had a box of disposable ones. But her son, who will be 10 in July would like one. She allows him to play Xbox on line, but only if his face is covered. So that was fine with me...I sent one to him and included a little pink one for his 3 yo sister. I know how sisters are...if brother has one, she needs one!
Now that Mom needs a mask at work, she wanted a handmade one. Better than the disposable she says, but was reluctant to ask, since she had turned me down earlier.  Her dad, our son, said, " Call Grandma! I'm sure she will be glad to!"  He was right, of course.  Cause that's what we as grandmothers do!  I was tickled pink!!

So these are cut out and ready to sew. I'll send them priority mail on Monday, she'll have them on Tuesday.  Just in time to start her job on Thursday!. One is purple with a grey lining, one is aqua flowers with a red lining, and one is coffee beans with a pale yellow lining. The red lining is interfaced with SF101,  the fabric is a bit light and not so tightly woven. I'm now out of elastic cord, a bit of flat 1/4" elastic is left and I have cut t-shirt yarn for the halter style ties.  I'm wondering if the t-shirt yarn has enough elasticity and hold to use in an ear loop. I may try one for myself. I haven't ventured out to Joann's or Hobby Lobby. They just opened up here in our county and I'm in the at -risk category. I have not gone out except to pick up groceries and take out lunch once in a while.
Maybe I'll don a mask and go see how crowded they are.

Here in NE Wyoming we are pretty safe. No new cases in the last 10 days or so, in our county.  No deaths at all in our county. Only 2 of the 17 cases we did have, were hospitalized. So we have definitely flattened the curve. In fact, when they weren't doing elective surgeries, our county hospital cut wages, furloughed nurses and even furloughed some traveling doctors. The CEO did not take his pay for the balance of the fiscal year.

Well, this turned into a long blah blah blah post.  Sorry.  It looks like Angela has given us Junes new color.....PINK!  So I will get busy on my pink basket, pink Geese Migration blocks and pink hollow nine patches.  I'm linking this post to ScrapHappy Saturday. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy.
