I picked out some of my favourite bright and happy fabrics hoping to cheer people up. It's onerous to wear a mask, especially in the hot summer, but it's important to try to do everything we can to prevent even the slightest chance of passing on COVID to our friends and neighbours ....and so we carry on sewing masks and wearing them. 
I made 8 childrens' size in dinosaur fabric, and 20 adult size in fun bright fabric. They seem to need them as fast as we can sew them.
And then I took a break to sew the little piggy block into a quilt top. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and votes on Monday's blog post. This is the layout that was preferred. I sewed a white border around the pig, and then started filling in the empty spaces with chunks of background fabric.
And here is the finished quilt top. I hope to do some machine and hand quilting, and finish it this weekend. I can't decide whether to call this "Pandemic Pig" or "This little (greedy) piggy". Or do you have another suggestion for a name?
Cute piggy making her wise statement. Yes masks masks masks.... I'm on the same train. It's so important. Here in Japan virtually everyone wears one now. I do think it's been a big part of why the virus is under control here. Your masks are so colorful and fun.
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone here would wear a mask--too many aren't. Although CT has a pretty good record with regard to the Covid; but this makes people say it isn't necessary anymore--where has my faith in the common man/woman gone?
ReplyDeleteAnyway How about "This Little Piggy"? It is such a cute statement piece. You did a super job on this one...hugs with
masks and gloves, Julierose
I wish more would wear face masks here too - not enough are and so I mainly still stay home as the numbers keep going up in my state of Arkansas - people do not want to help others by wearing them
ReplyDeleteThe piggy quilt is darling and your masks look great. I have really enjoyed seeing all of the cute masks people are wearing. It's not fun to wear them so it's great to make them cute if we do have to wear them.
ReplyDeleteI love your piggy block! the masks are bright and cheerful, not many people are wearing masks here even when they should. Have a lovely weekend. :) xx
ReplyDeleteOne Greedy Pig is SEW much better than a roll of toilet paper as a memory quilt, Kathy! Happy quilting!
ReplyDeletepiggy turned out very nice.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do need to wear masks. It shows that we take care of each other.
I am with you on the mask making. I cut out 60 more this week and will sew them up here and there as I can. Don't want any family/friends/neighbors to not be able to wear them because they don't have one.

ReplyDeleteVery cute little piggy. I kinda like Pigdemic as a potential name.
