What a great thing that you are going to do that. Sure makes my day. Thanks.

It made me cry when the ACS told me two little ones were 'laid to rest with their dolls'. I pray for a cure.

Hard enough for adults, but for children. is beyond sad.

Does this child have a bad illness that is life threatening? If she does, I'll make her a doll too. Please let me know.

Check out Keepsake Quilting for skin-colored fabric. Their last catalog carried quite a large selection of various colors.

I don't have a pattern except the one I made on my own....very simplistic. If you feel like you can trust me with a place to mail it, I will try to make you a pattern. It will be out of newspaper, and I will type out how to put it together. You are welcome to it, if you want to try.

Also sew lots of different fabrics and trims together to get the amount of material you need.

Let me know and i will help if I can.
