Custom Masks

Another quilter asked if I could make a pair of custom masks for a bride and groom. I said yes.
First, I used the machine's built-in fonts to design the embroidery and make it the size I needed. I then learned about poor embroidery alignment on pre-cut fabric and how my embroidery thinks I want one color when I want another. It was a good test.
Then, I got it right on the second time. I even managed to get it similarly lined up on the second mask. 
Different lining for yet another visual indication of who each belongs to. 
Pressed and ready for top stitching. 
Top stitched and ready for their trip to the west coast for the happy couple. Don't let the pandemic slow you down or prevent you from making memories. I hope these help make their special day a little more special.
