Dolls

 My latest adventure has been into the world of dolls. I was invited to join a subgroup of the VGFA, The Coast Character Doll group. They were offering a workshop with Nell Burns on Free Motion embroidery and one spot was left. I attended and had a great day honing my skills and learning new things. I decided to formally join the doll makers. Never having made a doll I thought I had better make one so I felt like I belonged! The internet is a bottomless pit of ideas, patterns and advice so I found a pattern and was on my way. The group members steered me to some very informative resources online. My doll became a textile artist, apparently looking like me.  I have since learned that this often happens. My stash had lots of appropriate bits so I didn't buy anything. I crocheted her top, stitched her vest and skirt, made her jewelry, booties and stockings and even made her underwear. I had so much fun!
