American Girl Doll Clothes basket:  Please consider making an outfit!  A few kits will be available at the meetings.  But if you have a pattern for an 18” doll – then just do it!  We are especially interested in “period” clothing (since the dolls represent various times in history).  Also it would be fun to have some outfits to represent fairy tale characters such as Goldie Locks, Snow White, etc.  Current day jumpers and jogging suits are great, too. 

It would also be fun to have small quilts from the various times the dolls represent.  Please check with us first so there aren’t duplicates. 

We’d love to find a handy husband who could fashion a proportional bed for us!  We would love to hear from you with suggestions, questions, or just to say you want to contribute!
