Well, the mask demand has definitely peaked. I can go 2 days without restocking at the town office. I broke down and BOUGHT (!) fabric for the ones I was making for the folks at Belmont park as I was out of horse-themed fabrics. (So much for the Saratoga quilt I had planned to make "sometime".) Fortunately I live less than 10 miles from a great source of quilt-shop quality fabrics at a reduced price so it wasn't hard to find more fabric. The hardest part was holding my tongue and not berating all of the people I encountered who were not social distancing or wearing a face covering. I know from a Facebook encounter last month that there is, even here in Maine, a segment of the population that thinks this is all a hoax, that they are immune and that wearing a face covering infringes on their rights. I get it - but again I plead for those people who CAN but choose not to comply, to please think of others. Imagine if you went out and about without a face covering, came in contact with someone who had the virus and before you could show symptoms - if you ever did - you infected your 80 something grandmother or your father who had heart disease. How awful would you feel?
