Joan had just returned from a trip to Pakistan and showed us some wonderful hand work pieces she had brought back.
Andrea had been to a week long workshop at John C. Campbell Folk School at which she constructed not one but two kaleidoscopes. Amazing workmanship, Andrea!
Katie has done a facebook page for our club. Look for it at "Indy Cloth Dollmakers". We will be posting pictures of dolls members have made, events and highlights of our club. If you have a picture of a doll you would like posted, let one of the board members know and we will do that for you.
Andrea has requested suggestions for a local charity to support. Please contact Andrea by the June meeting at which time we will vote for one.
Sue will be teaching at our fall workshop on August 31 and September 1. Patterns will be available upon payment for the class.
Some members were going to AFICC and we are looking forward to see and hear what all they did. Since our May meeting is a road trip we will have to wait until June to hear all about it.
Our April program was stuffing, closing openings, and jointing our Patti Culea dolls. Andrea led us with some great techniques and samples. She also gave us a handout on sizing of hands for our dolls. Something to consider when we do hands at the June meeting.
