VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: THE WESTVILLE MASK PROJECT NEEDS YOUR HELP BUILDING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
|
|
Friend and neighbor Linda Schultz is coordinating a protective mask project and is asking for our help!
"Do you sew? Do you have a sewing machine and an iron?
Westville women and men have coordinated a home sewing program to produce Yale New Haven hospital masks. These pocket masks lengthen the use of surgical masks, and the design is approved by our New Haven hospital network. Patterns and materials are available. We are asking you to provide the cutting and/or sewing skill. As a community, we will be completing and distributing at least a hundred masks each week for our frontline medical personnel. Let’s do it!"
if you are interested in helping.

“My mom taught me to embroider when I was a small girl. Then came sewing, crocheting, knitting. Later on I became a weaver. Working with textiles aligned with my tendencies towards perfection; something that the shadow boxes take full advantage of.
Making these small pieces of work has been joyous. Small, disparate pieces with past lives finding a new one. I like the perceived limitations of the rectangle, and that the items visibly balance without worrying about how they do so physically. Framing the works allows the viewer to focus on the small items, looking, often for the first time, at their design, function, and material.”
