2020 created both chaos and opportunity for many citizens.  During a pandemic, many skilled homemakers were tasked with implementing home management practices for personal, family and community needs. In the middle of a face covering shortage, there became a huge demand for handmade masks.  A Fayette County Quilt Guild member and her mother-in-law combined their pre-purchased fabric and sewed face masks daily.  After donating hundreds of masks, they began selling their excess to consumers online nationally. Between April and June of 2020, the seamstress made enough money from selling 800 face masks fto cover two home mortgage payments. Notably, during this time, there was no fabric to purchase as fabric stores were closed for business.   A memorable product review expressed gratitude from a western state grandmother who purchased the children sized dinosaur masks.  Her autistic grandson had refused to wear a face covering until he received these masks and thereafter, would only wear these masks.  Several Fayette County sewers responded to the call for action and voluntarily made 10,000 masks for community usage.  This homemaker expanded her service through marketing and entrepreneurship and was able to subsidize her family’s income during a pandemic.
