"Visiting your website regularly is a treat. I'm so glad you have this gallery. Every new creation is delightful and always a surprise! The excellent quality of your designs and craftsmanship really comes across in your wonderful photos! The photos make those dolls look as if they are ready to turn the other way to show off another side of their new outfits! And the group photos are fantastic! I can just imagine them running around and playing! I love the new look of the site too! Dora, 4/18/08"| -- Dora Filanowska, 4/18/08 |
"I love the clothes you sew. They are masterful. My seven year old daughter and I saw your site together and she thought they were adorble. Where do you get the dolls for your clothes though? Are they a certain type of doll?"| -- Mollie Carlson, 3/5/08 |
Working with fabric and thread by quilting, sewing, weaving, and dyeing I find myself connected to a history of “women's work” with a needle and thread. Traditionally we made functional items for our family for survival of the elements. Yet by making them objects of beauty, they are handed down from generation to generation providing the survival of a family's history; one of love and labour, sacrifice and celebration. My skills at dressing Bleuette are a culmination of over forty years of textile endeavors....
