Welcome, Kate! Nice to have you here! You sure have been lots of places! I took a look at your blog and was quite impressed with your work. We have a bloggers group here that I hope you will join and nobody has started a quilt group yet (I don't want to start ALL of the groups...) even though there are many of us. You seem outgoing... would you like to start it? Doesn't take much time, just a post now and then to stimulate discussion.

There are some tips on how to use this site under "Notes" on the front page. Most people seem to start interacting with each other through their photos, so do load some soon. Each member also has a blog here that is linked to the front page, a nice way to introduce yourself and to give updates to the rest of us.

I'd also like to invite you to write an article for my blog, www.fiberfocus.blogspot.com. I think it would be very interesting to hear about your travels, the textiles you saw and any artists you interacted with. Part of my goal is to narrow the divide between traditional textile producers and contemporary fiber artists, but also to look at what is happening in different communities around the world. Anything you would like to share would be met with interest and would also bring more people to your own blog.

Well, make yourself at home!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
