I don't think thePOA could loan out a pattern. Where did I see that pattern? Oh yeah, in my file of puppets I'll probably never get to. It is an 18 inch G.raff puppet pattern that has never been used. It comes with 2 sets of felt eyes. This is the original from Sonrise and not a copy so there should be no copyright problems. Please contact me-Steve

Great news!  I just got off the phone with the company that now has Sonrise Soft Crafts and they have all of the patterns for which I was looking.  Their website is www.gleanings.ca and if you call them at 866-240-0027, ask for Ruth, (she said she'd be out until the end of the week) as they sell other items and I guess not all of their employees are familiar with these patterns.

Thank you all so much for your help.

Great detective work Kathy ..................... This is good to know. Thank You for sharing this update with us.

Thanks for letting us know about the source Dresda/Kathy!

I think maybe they need to update their site.

We will ship next day, with no charge for shipping to Canada and continental USA if you order before June 30, 2003

i was wondering if anyone had a copy of the Miss Kit T pattern I have been looking everywhere for one but with no luck

I've got one unused and with the premade felt eyes. I am switching to Verna Finley type puppets)-Steve
