Masks for Bozeman
Dear Fellow Sewers,
Calling all sewers to create Surgical Masks! So much happened since my first invitation & the need for homemade surgical masks continues. The Gallatin Guilt Guild is working with the Bozeman hospital, but there is a need nationwide. This page is a reference for anyone interested in creating masks whether they be for the Gallatin Valley or your own community.
We learned a lot through this process and have plenty to share with you. Please take this information and pay if forward. All my very best wishes for your health and happiness. Together we will get through this. Be well.
Ranie Wheeler
President, Gallatin Quilt Guild
