What is YOUR poopie wearing for Easter?

Daisy modeling something from our spring line.

Daisy is a beautiful big-boned girl

weighing about 100# and wears a LG.

EFFECTIVE 4/11/17, ITEMS WILL NO LONGER BE SENT IN TIME FOR EASTER but will continue to be available while supplies last. 

We are all out shopping for our traditional Easter bonnets..... well, maybe not.

Sadly, I think the days of Easter bonnets are pretty much over.  I don't look great in hats but LOVE seeing others wearing their Spring bonnets!!  Its a tradition that I enjoy.  Don't you just love seeing little girls in their bonnets? And the elderly women...  they wear them with such panache!

I do think most shop for something for Easter, or Easter dinner, or at least for spring.  

My question is: what is your dog (or poopie as I call them) wearing for Easter?  Nothing?  How fair is that?

My faux vests for the poopies have been so popular that I have decided to offer them to you!!  And they even have a faux pocket for their watch !!

I know a lot of people do not dress their furbabies but even an "undressed" dog can look cool.

Sorry I don't have anything for the girls yet...  maybe soon!!

For a contribution amount of your choosing to the Jay Barton Memorial Fund*, I will mail your poopie vest in plenty of time for your dog's Easter dress-up.  This offer will expire in 7 calendar days (to ensure receipt by Easter) but may expire without notice, however, all completed transactions will be honored. 

Here is how it works:

1.  Choose a vest from the photos in this posting, based on size and preference.   Vests are made of a durable wash and dry polyester non-ravel fabric with a Velcro closure and is NOT intended to be used to restrain. 

Please be aware that the vest should NOT be left unattended as the adorable "bone" button(s) may create a choking hazard to children or dogs. 

2.  Visit any Wells Fargo branch and deposit your contribution into the Jay Barton Memorial Fund*, account # 9703925777, nicknamed For the Kids.  Remember that you choose the amount of your contribution.  Save your transaction receipt.
 
Contributions may be made by check or cash at any branch or via remote banking if you are a WF customer. 

3.  Email your contribution transaction #, along with your name, address, and the vest you desire to me by clicking on this link or jax2127@msn.com.  The transaction number can be found near the middle of your receipt, just above the date.  

The number of each style available is noted behind its code.  Please list first and second choice.  If no second choice is noted and your chosen style has been depleted, you will receive another style of my choosing in the appropriate size.  Note there are TWO photos of size MEDIUM.

4.  I will verify your transaction number and mail your very special vest within 48 hours of your contribution.  I will also update the posting photos based on supplies.  Sorry we cannot ship outside the 48 contiguous states.

Vests will be mailed first-in, first-out.  Please know that styles may vary slightly from photo.

5.  Enjoy the adorable that is your doggie in Easter duds. 

I would love to see some photos of your puppies in their finery!!    Please FORWARD your photos with your poopie's name!

Quilts for Pulse

On June 12, 2016, a very disturbed 29-year-old security guard (I chose to not use his name) killed 49 people and wounded 53 others inside Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

Almost immediately, the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild announced their plans to collect and complete quilts for those impacted by the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando on June 12^th. Depending on how many are donated and how many the guild completes, the goal is would be to give a quilt to each injured survivor, a significant person in the life of each of those who were killed, to Pulse employees, 1^st responders, hospital personnel, and others who were personally hurt by the horrifying event. It was their hope that they would have enough quilts for everyone impacted who would like one.

The quilting community came together to create beautiful quilts for the families and victims of the shooting.

A loosely knit small group in my area chose to participate with Limbania Osredker heading up our efforts.  Blocks were created and put together in two quilts with one top being pieced and assembled by one single person:

My participation in this project was to quilt the tops. 

The Orlando Modern Quilt Guild announced the following at the end of the quilt collection period:
"The outpouring of love and support we have received is nothing short of incredible and we are overwhelmed with it. There aren't words to describe how we felt knowing that this sort of atrocity happened in our backyard and now, no words to describe how supported and loved we feel with the help of all of you. Let me start by saying a simple Thank You. When I try and look for words that are better than that, I cant even come up with any because none would suffice." 

Limbania recently received the following note from the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild:

I was proud to be a part of this project.
