What I have: recent copies of Grit magazine
various sets of StampinUp stamps
What I need: Fat quarter size childrens print cotten fabric. I'm making rag dolls for an orphanage and they need dresses. In all my stash, I have very few kid's prints.
I do have a wide variety of the stamps, and will get a list if any one is interested. I have never done the barter thing here, but money is tight and the dolls are naked. Let's see what we can do!!! Thanks, Carol

Can you be more specific on what kind of "children's prints" you need? Small prints? Animal prints? Colors? Old~fashioned? New? I'm sure I have something in my stash for rag doll dresses but not sure exactly what you're looking for.
Would be happy to help, Sharon

Sharon that is a good question. I think I want something playful and cheery. Animals would be great, anything with lots of color. These are for babies up to about 18 months. The dolls are about 9-11 inches. No faces though per their request. I am also using sripes on som of the legs so it looks like socks. The litle kids like cars, I had forgot about that. I would be grateful for anything. Thank you!!

I just emailed you Carol. Found some bright prints, one with little fishies on it. How nice of you to do this for these children. I'm sure you will make them happy with your generosity. S

I just really want to thank Sharon and Patricia for sending me fabric for the rag dolls!! I recieved wonderful prints and was able to get several dresses. Another awesome thing is that right when I agreed to do this project, I found five yards of heavy muslin for two dollars at a garage sale. It is all working out like it is supposed to!! Thank you, girls!!

Hello, I was wondering if you needed any more fabric. I know i dont have any that have children's prints on them but i have some material that would work to make the bodies. Just let me know

I think right now I'm good, I was given some recieving blankets, and making the dresses out of those. I'll let you all know if I need anything else, but right now, I think I'm ok.............now if any one out there wants to start working on a christmas quilt for me...{lol}.
Thank you all so much. and I'll post pics when I learn how, Carol
