Face masks etc

Lately with the coronavirus outbreak I've been unable to work and am spending lots of time at home.  I have been making cotton masks for health care workers who work with the elderly.  Here is the first design with cotton ties.  I've been using up fabrics in my stash. 




Here is the pile of masks that I sent out last week (36 of them).  I'm working on another design now.


Here's what I've been working on artwise.  I love using up strips of leftover fabric to make backgrounds for future wall hanging or to incorporate into something else.  We saw some beautiful birds on our trip to Costa Rica recently so I'm thinking this would make a great background for a silhouette of a bird.


I also like to use up strips of t-shirt material to make circles and fabric bowls.  These are rather large coasters to put under a drink or something hot like a bowl of soup.  I've inserted strips of fabric between the layers to add colour.  Thanks for having a look and stay safe everyone!
