Westie Foundation of America Auction ... I'm almost ready!

 As the time is growing near to the

Montgomery Kennel Club Show [in October] 

I thought I'd better start organizing my donation to the 

WESTIE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA's

auction during this big event.

 As you know I've been sewing all year.

  For this years auction I made fabric tote bags.

I'll put an assortment of clothing in each bag.

I'm hoping this will grab the attention of those

who will be biding on this item collection in the silent auction.

 Don't you just love the straps?

This is vintage fabric and I used it with care.

I didn't want to put the pocket on the front

so I added them on the sides. 

 A big red sparkle button and tiny

red & green buttons were added by hand.

 This is the special pocket which keeps the doll in place.

 The third bag is red, green & lime green westies.

 I have plans of making one more bag with a spring theme.

Four bags for four seasons of clothing.

What more can a little girl want?

 How many items is enough for one doll & one little girl?

 My queen size bed is covered in American Girl doll clothing.

We have dresses, skirts, tops, suits, night gowns, coats,

hats, hand bags, shorts, slacks, tops and shoes

... am I missing anything?

How many hours ... how many days ... how many weeks ...

did all this take me?

How many items of clothing are on the bed?

I .. HAVE .. NO .. IDEA

but every second I spent is so worth while 

when it comes to helping the

organization I'm passionate about

THE WESTIE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA
