Sue has been working on some dolls when not traveling. Her recent Alaska trip included the purchase of some cute Eskimo dolls made by local
artists and some fabric to make an Eskimo doll.
Andrea brought something she found and didn't know what it was. Members decided it was a handle broken off an antique hand mirror. Hmmm, wonder what she will make with it??? She also brought a doll she made several years ago from a pattern be Alison Marano featuring fabric manipulation

We discussed next year's spring class with Barbara Schoenoff. It will be April 26-27, 2025. Barbara will be working on patterns for us and members are getting excited. She will be showing how she makes the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Sue and Virginia are party planning for the October Julie McCullough open house on October 19 at the Franklin Road Branch library. The hours will be 10:30-1:00. Members are encouraged to bring dolls they have made from Julie McCullough's patterns. Andrea asked for dolls to put in the library display case for October. Members should bring Halloween themed dolls to the September meeting.
Program
Sue presented a program on making doll-sized baskets. She brought kits for members to make their very own baskets. These were so easy and fun to make with Sue's excellent directions. Thank you Sue for another great program!
