I just have to share...
You know that feeling, when things in your head, just don't translate
 into fabric the way you want them too?????
I was thinking of "Care Bears" and their bright colors.
Sickly green just didn't make the cut though!
Just a little heads up when you look at the pattern and think...
WHAT?????
LOL!!

We, of course won't leave you high and dry. All blocks are being released early.

Who is That Masked Bandit?

It seems like we are never going to get away from wearing masks!
Remember the days...if we saw someone in a mask, you were sure they were going to rob a bank!
Well those days are long gone. Now we are walking around giving people
 the "stink" eye, if they don't have a mask on!

Up to this point, I have been making the rectangle pleated masks.
They work well, except when they come out of the wash, 
mine are all wadded up and need ironing.
I don't even like to iron clothes no less masks!
LOL!!

Then I found these!
These are "Crafters Edge" mask dies, and yes there are 4 different sizes included.


With these dies and Heat n Bond Sew-In Interfacing, making masks has never been so easy.

Best yet...


These dies run not only in the "Crossover II Fabric and Paper Cutting System",
but also in the Accuquilt GO cutter, when used with the "Conversion Platform Set".
I love that they are so much easier to store. 
No more needing big shelves for heavy dies.
Fussy cutting with them is a snap, and there is much less 
fabric waste with them, too!

As for the masks...
This is my favorite style so far.

I like having just 1 tie, life is to short to spend it tying ties all the time!


I was able to find these cord locks on Amazon.


Making it easy to hang the mask on your neck when not in use, and flipping it up and sliding the cord lock tight, when needed.

Never mind the scary hair. While some people have bed head...
This is my mask head these days!
