I was visiting Edyth O'neill's blog and found a truly touching request and wanted to pass it along to my readers.
I know a lot of you make dolls and this is such a sweet cause and would truly make a wonderful woman happy.
Edyth has known this woman for years and she has helped Edyth when her house burnt down and now she is at a point in her life, where a sharing of our gifts, would truly bring happiness to her life.
So, if you like to make dolls or would love to do something special for the holiday season, please visit Edyth's site and you can get details there.
If you do not have black doll patterns, you can easily modify any pattern by using dark fabrics.
Here are a few sites for free patterns, to make dolls, if you would like to join in. Many of these dolls would be wonderful gifts for little girls too, maybe for a local shelter.

For epatterns, there are some wonderful ladies who make patterns for dolls and often have specials on their patterns.
Threadbare Primitives has some wonderful doll patterns, and some are on special. I love the Tabitha doll, that is one I would love to make and it is only 4.99 for an epattern.
Another wonderful designer is Jackie Schmidt. She has some wonderful primitive black angel dolls that would be fun to make.
Kim Koehler has some wonderful black doll patterns, that are primitive and simple to make.
Oh my goodness. I went to Edyth's site. How sad. Poor thing! I have never made a doll, but will look into it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do for a friend I will not be able to fit a doll in right now but I am off to several church sales if I find one in my travels I will certainly buy on to pass on. Happy thanksgiving

What a wonderful idea. I will keep her in mind when I make my next doll. Thanks too for the free doll links. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. Great time of the year to be doing for others.
