Leslie is working with some other doll groups nearby that we might be able to get together with.
We reviewed Amy Felske's Book Dragon pattern. Members are looking forward to her class April 27-28.
Barbara Schoenoff wasn't able to attend but sent her Beauty and the Beast doll. Members were excited about perhaps having her teach how to make the Beast.
