Hi everyone, I'm brand new, but I know Dawni from DHV & HFM! She suggested I
join the guild about a year ago, better late than never I guess.


I will be at Harvest Festival for sure (Angie and Kathy have already made it
plain that I'm welcome to sell stuff whenever I have stock). I'll be selling....
well, at least rag dolls and sunbonnets, if not whatever else I can cobble
together (maybe doll quilts, maybe some other stuff).

Tracy and I are going to go into plotting some mourning garb for both of us in
about 10 minutes (when I get off work).
