I did not hear back from the person at Candler/ St. Joseph today. I will call again tomorrow. No luck at Memorial either. Does anyone know a name and number of someone at Memorial that I should call?
I did pre wash fabric today. Will be sewing tomorrow.

I called Candler/St. Joseph and Memorial. I could not get through to Memorial, lines busy. The person from Candler/ St. Joseph sounded interested and said she would call me back after gathering more info.
This is the best video that I have found. I’ve tried the elastic straps and find that they are too person specific. Ties allow for any size to wear. I made my own folded over strips made like bias tape by using 2″ strips the width of the fabric. I like to put the ties on the sides, after basting the raw edge pleats in and sewing the top and bottom seams and inserting the wire. I’m using a coated wire and bending in the ends too. The wire is very helpful in keeping the mask in place.
I need to make 100 to send to our daughter who is an RN in Grand Junction, Colorado and in charge of 24 home health nurses that don’t have enough masks. They are rationing them now to suspected cases. I’m sure that there are needs here, but if anyone wants to help make this kind of masks and donate them to Shelley, give me a text or call. 912-755-9407
Also, Mary Bass is checking on the need here.

I just loved the project Betty was working on at the retreat. I found some beautiful Grunge recently and thought I would give this a try. All set and ready to go…I mean sew!
here is a link to a pattern
Hey retreat buddies! The feathered star now has its Flying Geese and King’s Crown border. Whew, I made it through the worst instructions ever! First time I have experienced that the inner purple border width wasn’t a measurement until after you made the inner star and flying geese, and then the King’s Crown border. A struggle to figure out, but worth it!
