Tribute to Darski

One of my favorite 18" Doll Designers has decided she is done with designing and donating her patterns to all of us. I am so grateful for all the patterns she's shared that I decided to go back and revisit the items I've made through the years. Sadly I don't have pictures for all the items I made with her patterns. However, I thought it would be nice to demonstrate how many children ended up with items made with her patterns. So thank you Darski. I have so enjoyed finding your new patterns at Crochetville. However, I am pleased to see you are still posting pictures of the clothes you love making there.

Darski, I know I've made other patterns of yours, but I don't have them documented here. I know that I return to the We Gather pattern constantly, as you can see here. I also have made your Christmas Dress even more times than documented here. I am truly grateful for you sharing your gift. Thanks to you and other creative people I have been able to make gifts for family and friends. Now that most of those children have outgrown the dolls I've continued with my yearly doll donations. Without the genrous offerings of you and the other free designers my costs would make the donations much smaller.
