(Note: The binding for ties does not need to be biased. WOF works)
Wonderfully easy, no marking, pinning.

Midwife Group on Chatham Parkway needs Masks
I work at the Midwife Group on Chatham Parkway in Savannah, a freestanding birt center. We are having trouble getting face masks for ourselves and our patients. Any amount of cloth masks to distribute to our patients and partners would be welcome. I plan to sew some myself the next day off I get.

Summit West Care Nurses are Covered!
It warms your heart to see how appreciative nurses are to get the masks. Our daughter, Shelley, lives in Grand Junction, CO and is an RN with 24 nurses that report to her. They are taking care of Covid-19 patients at the patient’s home and had little supplies. These masks help them save the few n95 masks for the identified virus patients and use the fabric masks for other visits, such as wound care. They can also use the fabric masks over the n95 masks to extend the life of the mask.
A special thanks go to Judy King, Gloria Bailey and Judy Saucerman for being part of this effort and sewing these masks. You are sewing warriors!

Joanns Makes Kits and Distributes Masks and Gowns
Joann’s Makes Kits for Masks and Gowns
Go Joanns! Click on the link and you can view the news story about how Joanns is helping by making kits for gowns and masks. They have a drive up service if you want to pick up kits. They are collecting finished masks and gowns and distributing them to the healthcare places in need.
One thing I noticed it that they used fusible interfacing in their masks to add another layer of protection. They have a video on making masks on this link too. It seems that the gowns may be a huge need too.
Great news about the distributing them to those in need. It isn’t easy to connect with people at the healthcare facilities as they are busy now.

Trouble with Login Password
Hi, all you lovely quilter ladies!
A few of the passwords have corrupted in the process of creating our website’s member list. Many have been able to login and change their password, but several have need a password reset. Thankfully, there is an easy way around this issue.
When your login doesn’t work and gives you an error message of “Invalid Password,” click on “Lost Your Password” at the bottom of the login box under the blue “Log In” button. A box will pop up where you can insert your username or email. Click on “Get New Password.” A message will be sent to your email inbox that will allow you to reset your password.
Open the email and click on the link (highlighted blue words) and you will be be taken to a screen that lets you enter a new password. Check out the two images I have included showing a weak password and a medium password input. A weak password causes a checkbox to appear with the words “Confirm use of a weak password” which needs to be checked if you want to use a weak password. If not, add a character, additional numbers or capitals to make it stronger. Record your password somewhere as I will not be able to tell you what it is since I cannot view personal passwords. Click on the blue button to “Reset Password.” Now you will be able to login with your new password.
Good luck, ladies and if you experience any difficulties please email me and I will help you.

Sewcial for March is Cancelled
Dear Ladies,
It has been decided that the Sewcial for this month should be cancelled. Hopefully, these measures will lead to a short life for the Covid-19 illness in the area and we can resume our fun activities soon. Until then, sew on ladies!
