'I don’t need the money, but I do need my friends and family.' Inside one Los Angeles woman's mission to sew 100+ face masks for her community — including dozens for the staff at an assisted living home:
There’s no place I’d rather be than in my sewing room quilting. That was before the coronavirus pandemic pushed the pause button on life as we know it.
More than one person has asked me how much money I want for my masks. I say the same thing each time: “I don’t need the money, but I do need my friends and family.” I personally love to make masks with a travel-themed fabric that asks, “Are we there yet?” I’ve also been pulling out all my largest print florals, my boring mistake grays, teal and pink baby fabric and the too-bright cupcake patterns. Even ugly fabric makes a great face mask.
— Laura Snow The iron burn on my hand and the sliced finger glued back together don’t deter me from my mission. In fact, by staying so busy, I don’t have to think about when we can fly family in to hold a funeral for my mom, who passed away on March 13 from complications of a broken hip. I don’t have to think too deeply about our business — a niche manufacturing company called ProtecTarps, Inc., which has supported our family for the last 18 years — and how we shut the doors last week.
