Julep On The Rooster Quilt & Me & My Sister Twin Quilts

 Julep

 Since Julep had the rooster quilt

Derby took Julep's spot on the sofa.

 Butt-pressing by Julep!

 The last of the rooster fabric.

This extended lap quilt will be given

to Carol who runs the Farm Fresh Farmers

Market in St. Michael's during the summer

and into the fall.  Carol sells eggs and various

herbs at her market stand ... so this is

just perfect for her! 

 The quilt label embellished with tiny

buttons and a few glass beads.

 I only had enough fabric to make one

chicken pillow case.  Putting the quilt in a

pillow case does makes a nice presentation.

... Holiday Pillow Cases ...

Scottie in the snow pillow cases are from vintage fabric.

I contacted the manufactured and found out they will not be

re-printing this material [what a pity!].  

All the westie rescue groups are now looking for items to

sell for holiday fund raising events.  Many of these rescue group

get those sick westies that have come from a horrible puppy mill

situations or those that are dumped at a shelter

because the owner doesn't want to deal with various health issues

... so the rescue angels come in to nurse them back to health.

 ... Please keep in mind ... 

If you are creative and would like to contributed something

you make to a westie rescue organization {I know them all}

please let me know and I will gladly send your items

to the appropriate rescue group to use.

 ... Me & My Sister Quilts ...

 On Monday I had a visit from Jocelyn and Jayla.

I've been making American Girl doll clothing for them

since last year when I met them at a Michaels craft store

near my sisters house in Bel Air. It must have been fate when

I told them where I lived and Lauren {their mom} told

me that the girl's grand mother lives in the same town I do.

So Jocelyn and Jayla came to spend a few days at

grand mom's but first they had to stop in for a visit.

 I whipped these quilts up in record time.

I had this panel sitting around since last year and wasn't

sure what to do with it ... so I had the brain storm to

cut the blocks apart to created this fun quilt.

Of course the quilts are similar but different.

 All the blocks have two little girls so this is

why I named the quilts ... Me & My Sister.

 I had two blocks leftover and you know me I

don't want to waste a single piece of fabric

... so I made two tiny pillows.

I had the pillow cases done [which I was going to mail]

but since J&J came for a visit I used the cases to hold the 

quilt and tiny pillow all tied nicely with ribbon

and a big bow.  The girls were so active I didn't even take

one picture ... but I did have chocolate cupcakes with

homemade butter cream icing and all my sprinkles lined up

on the table ready for them to decorate when they came in the door.

 It was a very exciting and active visit and they wanted 

to stay with me and not go to grand mom's house.

Julep loved the girls and wanted to help lick the

 icing from their fingers so they didn't have

to wash their hands ... Derby was a little shy

and always had them in his sight but didn't

get near ... typical Derby.
