Quiltsy Cares 3/23/19

I love today's featured charity, A Doll Like Me - our featured quilter is is Peggy Gayler of Peggy Gayler Designs and this what she had to say about her donation:


I am sending off 2 doll quilts with matching pillows to A Doll Like Me. I want to support Amy J. in her mission to make handmade dolls that resemble the physical differences of their new little people.


Amy was a hospital oncology social worker who used dolls with her patients in play therapy. She noticed that she was using very normal looking dolls to explain some very real physical problems that her patients were enduring.

 She had a light bulb moment of “ wouldn’t it be great to have a doll that looks like my patients “. And her mission was born.

I want to support Amy to help bring a little more love along with her dolls when they are delivered to their new owners with a brand new handmade doll quilt. And mine come with pillows!

So sweet!  Thank you, Peggy!

Such a sweet idea, to have a doll that looks like children with special needs!
