The Doll Making Retreat will be held the weekend of September 10th. Wow it’s almost here. I’m busy getting ready for it now. We will be making projects from my new book, Make Cloth Dolls. The retreat will be at the historic Boulder Dam Hotel in Boulder City, Nevada. The retreat is being hosted by my favorite shop Fiddlesticks. You can call the shop at 702-293-2979 for more information if you would like to join us. I know it’s going to be a great time and I am looking forward to it.

Gregory is currently hanging out in the lobby of the beautiful Boulder Dam Hotel announcing the retreat!

These rag dolls are made with the “Emily Ann” pattern in my new book, “Make Cloth Dolls”. They have a button-jointed body.

With endless possibilities for color and fabric choices you can have a lot of fun with this pattern.

I’m very excited to tell you that my new book, “Make Cloth Dolls” will be released in September. It was truly a labor of love for me. Keeping everything under wraps was hard – but now I can share. So here’s a peek at a few of the characters from the book.

We’ve given the site a little face lift. I hope you like it!

I will be adding posts regularly to let you know what I’m working on. There’s a new page called “Ask Terese”. I’m often asked some interesting questions and I’m also asked many of the same questions repeatedly. I will post these questions and my answers for everyone to share.
