2019 Holiday Art Fair and Art Doll Show

2019 Holiday Art Fair and Art Doll Show

The 2019 Show and Sale has come and gone.  What a fabulous day it was!  Many people came to see what the Indy Cloth Dollmakers are all about.   Many stopped at Andrea and her Mom's Tatting Table where they demonstrated their intricate way of shuttle tatting.  Our display table showcased many dolls including our Margot dolls, Patti Culea dolls, dolls from AFICC classes, owls,  and others made by members this past year.  





Barbara's Dragon Nursery was a hit and we are so glad she came to share it with our visitors and tell them stories about the Dragon babies. 



Our Charity Table for Hope Center Indy was very successful and we will soon be presenting a check to them as soon as we get a final tally.  Thank you to everyone who purchased items from this table and/or made a monetary donation!
Many people lingered around our International/Ethnic Doll Challenge Table and then cast their ballot for the People's Choice award.  Our winner this year was Ann C.'s "Mac", a manly Scottish Highlander adapted from Sheryl D'Ath's Sam the Man pattern.  Great job Ann!
The Challenge dolls were judged at our November meeting by Carol Marlin, an Indianapolis fiber artist.  First place in the judging was a tie between Ann C.'s "Mac," and Katie's "Jewel".  Second went to Andrea's "Ann of Green Gables" and third went to Julie W.'s "Jasmine".  The Judge's Choice award also went to Ann C.'s "Mac".
