Quilter’s Message

I have received information about two local organizations requesting face masks…. Please respond to this message if you are able to help.

From Judy S.-Hospice of Savannah would like to be able to give each of their (93) home care nurses at least 10 masks a piece.  The masks may be dropped at the rear entrance where a staff member is taking temps. If no one is there, knock on the back door.  Call Melissa Gayle @ (mobile) (912)314-1192 or (office) (912)629-1074 for more information.

From Julie D.-Magnolia Manor (retirement/assisted living) in Richmond Hill needs 30 masks ASAP.  They can be dropped or Julie can pick them up.

I am sure there are other local needs in the Savannah area. If you know of any, please post them here on our website.

BTW-Judy had a tip for making ear loops…cut up old socks or tights to obtain stretchy circles.

Judy S. sent me the information.
The website has two links-one showing how to make a face mask and the other a link to health agencies requesting masks. There is a drop down menu to search for individual states. As always, it is a good idea to make contact before sending masks.

Hope all of you will find time to make pillowcases. Before all this virus stuff started I made a delivery of 125 pillowcases to Memorial Hospital.

So now Cindy and I don’t have any finished pillowcases and about 25 kits available.

Thanks for all your hard work and fabric donations!

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.
