Found different style face mask I really like. Created by Dora Cary of Orange Dot Quilts. https://www.orangedotquilts.com Also did a little Fold-It-Hold-It bag to carry the mask in. Black one with bag I’m sending to my daughter. Instructions can be found here: https://www.orangedotquilts.com Linda Sanita

I just finished this Meander Bag, a free (until the end of July) download pattern from Sew News magazine (sewdaily.com/go/SNfreebies).

Except for the strapping & the slide adjuster, everything came from my stash - even the buckle. Jean VanValin

Here's a mystery quilt I completed following a group on Facebook called Grid Girls. Each week, we received a clue telling us what to cut and sew.

The box with flowers are from the Crafty Gemini, the soap dish is the same box altered and the tissue box was mine. Not as easy as I thought it would be. Remade several times before I got it right! Linda Sanita Crafty Gemini tutorial can be found HERE.

When I saw Peggy Sager’s pattern of the month for May (#115 Ann’s Top), I thought it would be perfect for the light sweater knit that I found in the remnant bin (pay by the pound) at Foust. The picture only showed the one version, but I watched one of Peggy’s YouTube videos where she made several versions from this pattern. I loved the sleeveless top with the cowl collar lengthened to make a shawl collar. Since I had not made one of her tops before, I decided to make the “muslin “ out...
