When I finished quilting this one it was a rainy day and Spencer had muddy paws, so Auntie Ann kindly did the QC for us.
The quilt name on the label is sort of a family joke. When my father was a little boy he once said at the dinner table when the circuit riding preacher was visiting, "Give me a little jelly-o to fill my little belly-o!" Apparently this was vulgar language and quite shocking to his parents. But the phrase has been etched in family lore.
