Long arming or I think I got some mojo back

I have not had much sewing mojo lately.  I have been biking, cleaning up/doing things around the house, but when it comes to sewing, I don't have much.  Not sure why! I have things I want to finish!

So this quilt, was one that they found when they cleaned out my husband's grandparents house.  Since I am a quilter, they offered it to me (along with a sewing machine, but this is not about that).  

I was SO excited to get this quilt.  It's a snails trail quilt, and that is my FAVORITE block!!! I love the simplicity of the colors.  Orange and white.  


I realized I don't have a picture of the fabric I used for the backing.  I will get a picture once I get the quilt finished.  Now I have to decide what color to bind it in! I don't have a lot of orange, and I don't think I would like a white binding.

Masks


School has been out for almost two weeks.  I don't know where the time has gone!

I haven't had the chance to do a lot of sewing, I have been doing other things around the house that I have wanted to get done, but we don't always have the time.

I have had a few friends and family ask me to make masks for them, so I have done that.


I only use two layers of fabric, and mine don't have a filter pocket.  But I am doing my part.
