Barbara’s favorite craft is making dolls. Each year, Barbara has at least one new doll to the Annual Heirloom Quilt Faire, making her (or his) début.
At our May 21st meeting, Barbara agreed to bring her favorite dolls to share, not only the beautiful dolls but their stories, with us.

The mission of this organization is to encourage and promote interest in America’s oldest folk art form, in an atmosphere of friendliness and sharing. To contribute to the growth and preservation of quilting techniques through education and experience.
We are also a non-profit organization, 501(3)c, that makes "comfort quilts" to donate to child/adult protective services and emergency responders.
