Making Masks

 With all the kids going back to school in a few weeks, it was time to get busy on some masks making.  They will be wearing masks while they are at school, so I wanted them to have enough to get them through the week.   So  the last few days has been a mask making party!!!!

This is a mask pattern from Barbara.  I am not sure where she got it from, but I just love it!!  Here is the Link to the PDF Templates.     (I just used 4 of the Part A Pattern and didn't bother with the filter pocket :)  They are super easy to sew and the fit is great!!   The kids found this pattern the most comfortable of the few that we have tried, so it was a winner of school masks.  

And this party consisted of a lot of assembly line!!!  Seriously, assembly line mask making is the only way to go.   We made 25 masks, and they are so much easier to crank out when you do the same step over and over, rather than making each mask individually.   And it was fun to have us all working as everyone had assigned jobs whether it was pressing, clipping, serging, or sewing, which make it go really fast!!!!

Don't they look so fun laid out in a line!!!  I let my kiddo's go through my stash to pick fabrics.  They quickly found that they really liked the hand of the Art Gallery Fabrics against their faces as it is so soft.   I was grateful for that, as it was easier to just go through my Art Gallery stash, then having them raid my entire stash.  (they don't always keep things folded and neat, ha ha ha!!!)  

So now we are all set for Back to School!!!  Although, I am sure there will be much, much, much more mask making going on.   Got lots of family and friends that are going back to school as well ;)  Luckily, it feels like I could make these in my sleep already, so we will crank them out in no time!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Surrounded at the Cabin

So this last weekend we spent up at Bob and Barbara's (my amazing in-laws) Newly Finished Cabin.  This cabin has been a Work In Progress for 3 years so it is very exciting that it is all done.   And I figured, since there is a sewing studio in the new cabin (love Barbara!!!) it needed a Work in Progress as well ;)  I went through some of my long term projects and choose my Surrounded Blocks that I started way back here.   So they are now my new Cabin project (along with my Selvage Stars but I forgot starch so I didn't work on those)  and I am super excited to work on them whenever we are up enjoying this new space!!!  And I even got 3 blocks done this weekend!!!

This is the temporary "work station" at the moment.  My sweetheart is actually taking up some sewing tables and other sewing goodies today, so I will be sure and get some good pictures of the space the next time I am there :)

But the best thing about this space that I can share today . . . The View!!!!   Isn't that just absolutely gorgeous :)   That peak that you can see off in the distance is Angel's Landing at Zion National Park.  So pretty!!!  We are so very blessed to have such a peaceful place to play and now sew as well!!!

I can't wait to get back up there (it's about 45 minutes from home) and enjoy the beauties of nature while sewing up a storm ;)

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

July Sew Sampler!!

July just went by so fast!!!  But I always love the end of the month because it means I get the newest Sew Sampler Box, and July's is a great one!!!!   This month's theme is Patio Picnic and I just love it!!!   Especially because we have been enjoying a lot of picnic's recently ;)

It's starts out with a beautiful Shades of Summer Petite Rolie Polie.  I love how happy these prints are, just so fun!!!!  And I totally see a new picnic quilt in the line up, because this Patio Picnic Pattern is just to cute!!   And it would go together real quick as well ;)  

And the notions for this month's are all new and upcoming!!!   First up, this awesome Triangles on a Roll Paper that is actually made for Jelly Roll Strips.  How cool is that!!!!  And I am super excited for this Magic Pins Sampler pack as I have heard nothing but great about these Magic Pins.  It will be fun to try them out.   And finally, Hugo's Amazing Tape will so come in handy to keep all of the loose ends on spools nice and tidy.

And last, but not least . . . a new box means a new Block!!   .This year we are working on the Greatest Hits Quilt and this block is Track 4  ;)   I love how this block turned out.  I went a little more scrappy in the corals and really like it!!!  I think I will continue to do a few more with a "scrappy" look to them ;)   It's fun to see how this is just evolving as we go along!

And just a note, if you are wanting to get in on the new year of Sew Sampler boxes you have to get in line.  There is currently a waiting list as the box subscription is full.   But hopefully the wait isn't to long.  (I have been told new spots open up each week!!!)


And that is the July Sew Sampler Box!!!  Time to start a new picnic quilt before summer is all gone ;)

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
