Which is all good news to us. The masks she was making were never meant to anything but a "better than nothing" back-up if a crisis developed. She's back to her quilting projects for now and when we go grocery shopping during senior hours at the local supermarket she carries some masks in her purse and enjoys giving them out to elderly people who want and can't afford or find one.
When we went to pick up her machines at the sewing center/quilting store yesterday, as expected, we saw some nicely made and cool masks on the folks there.
She's given away some the tons of materials we accumulated through donations to people who continue to make masks for firemen, police, and other first responders.

I'm actually thinking about reaching out the schools here. As social distancing and masks will be a way of life for a bit. The kids can still show their school spirit
Just kicking that idea around. I have to get off my butt and decide if it is feasible
