With so many activities going on during the Holidays, it was no surprise that the November meeting was filled with fun and variety. Many dolls from the Kate Church workshops were on display, and there were dolls for the December Bookstore window. Daisy's polymer head from the Kate Church Workshop was fantastic.One of several she completed.

The meeting concluded with a make and take taught by Daisy: Making a dress form with a toilet paper roll, colorful paper and wire. Very clever!
2016 Challenge:
In 2016 the challenges will include making dolls with a limited number of sewing notions. The first challenge doll in this series, which will be due in January, will require the use of a single notion to dress or embellish the doll. Do you have a lot of ribbon in your stash? Buttons? Lace? This is the perfect time to put these items to use.
