Kathy you are correct about starting a project in UK - Pat Winters started the Comfort Doll Project back in 2007 and it was taken on by Brenda Hutchings at SewNews I think in 2010. One person DOES make a difference! YEAH!

Thinking these dolls would serve as toys for the kids too.

Reginalovesfabric is very generously sending me scraps for the dolly dresses. If anyone needs some to make the dresses, please PM me and I will send to you. First come first served.
Regina - thanks so much for that!
