Well all, I hit the jackpot today. I was put in contact with a fashion design student from my university department. (Yes, many of them look like Elle Woods from Legally Blond.) I e-mailed the student, she called me back and this afternoon I gave her a 55 gallon tote about 3/4 full of fabric for masks. She has used up most of her stash. (Poor dear!) She and two other fashion design students have made 200 plus masks and who knows how many more they can make with my donation. They got batiks, civil war prints, scraps from wide backs, fat quarters, odd pieces from layer cakes and a few cuts of yardage that I just know I would not use. The masks they have made to date were given to local hospitals, nursing homes and veterinary clinics.

I have been blessed with so much fabric and boy, oh, boy does it feel good to be able to pass on my abundance to some enthusiastic students who are using their skills to help the community we live in.
