Hi, dear quilty friends! I received this from a neighbor, Kathleen Moore, and felt like it was a great post and wanted to share it with you. The Georgia Historical Society wants to document how the Covid-19 was perceived and handled by Georgians. Click on the link and you will go to the entry for your Covid-19 story.
Georgia friends, I want to let you all know about the newest collection at the Georgia Historical Society and invite you to be part of preserving history. As we live through these unprecedented times we are all becoming part of a story that should not be lost to history. I hope that you will consider sharing your experience, the good and the bad, with the Georgia Historical Society for the COVID-19 collection at GHS and share the link on your own timeline so that others can learn about what GHS is doing and contribute their own stories to the collection.

Wonderfully easy, no marking, pinning.

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.

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!

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.
