Westie Julep

 Derby is on the lookout for the Easter Bunny

{or any bunny that comes into his yard!}

 What is your favorite flavor of Jelly Bean?

Mine is: Cherry

 These are the American Girl doll clothes my sister {Debby}

 has to divide up for her Easter give-a-way.

She is sewing for 5 little girls {why did I think it was 3?}

 A cake so easy to decorate for Easter.

ON TO SEWING & WHAT'S NEW

... ... ... ...

 This is the first time I made heart-shaped pillows with lace trim.

These were so easy to sew using the flannel my sister gave me for Jenifer.

 I came to find out it's Jenifer's birthday this Saturday so 

I hurried and whipped up two pillows and a two ruffle dress

as a little gift for her.

 Jenifer is my friends niece who has downs syndrome and

who loves cheer leading in school.  It seems that some of the girls

have taken Jenifer under their wing to help her with cheer leading.

  When Debby found this fabric at JoAnn's she know

 it had to be for Jenifer.

MY STASH OF NEW FABRIC

 I have a lot of dog fabric time for kitty cats!

 From my sister as a birthday gift to me.

 I'm not sure if I'll use this fabric 'cause I like it so much!

 More birthday fabric!

 Frog Buttons

 My first fabric from Paris France!

JoAnn & her husband Lloyd enjoyed a wonderful

vacation in France.  During their visit JoAnn

found a nice little fabric shop ... so she purchased

these for me as a gift.  

I'll save them to make something special just for me.

 Yet ... more birthday fabric!

 The next dress I'll try making.

How could I not ... it's named after me!

 A birthday present to myself.

Two new feet for my Bernina sewing machine

that are for quilting.

 Vintage sewing supplies.

My mom was cleaning out her sewing basket and

gave me a big bag of goodies.  Here are a few.

 When is the last time you purchased thread on a wooden spool?

Look at these prices ...

19 cents for a spool of thread &

15 cents for a sheet of snaps.

The good old days that I remember

oh so darn well!
