- tatting shuttles and DMC threads

My Creative Stitchery Patterns are available for wholesale purchase. Please contact me for more information.
- The handmade cloth dolls and bears are made by me. See the special order page for information on how to have a bear made from your fabric. I'll also make any of my dolls with your choice of fabrics and colors.
- There are free patterns. See the link to the side.
sept. 2009
BIG NEWS - The ebay store has been reopened! It's now called Creative Stitches. I'm looking into changing my PA Tax name to that, too. Stitchery doesn't fit anymore since I stopped selling embroidery supplies. I also closed the bonanzle store. I never sold a thing in a year so it was beginning to become a pain checking in there. I'm trying to downsize a bit so I can work on getting things finished instead of just sitting at the computer.
Yahoo has finally listed a date for closing geocities. It's Oct. 26,2009. I have had my web site here since I first started it. Those who have bookmarked www.heislerscreativestitchery.com should have no problem with getting to wherever I end up moving my sites to, but if you have bookmarked a geocities link it won't work when they close down geocities. I'll keep you informed of what I plan on doing. I have quite a few sites here at geocities for the store, pictures of my dolls, and psp results. That's going to be a lot of work moving everything!
Look for my flower ladies pattern in the July 2009 issue of Doll Crafter & Costuming magazine. I have nothing like them in any of my other doll patterns.
Another big change is that there is no longer a printable orderform. I explain why at the top of the page and on the How to Order Page.
Some of my patterns, including a few pdfs, are now being sold at Cloth Doll Suppy
I have a store at PatternMart. Some of my patterns are available here as PDF files you can download when you pay with paypal.
You can see the dolls I've sold at my google site. Here's the link.
I've opened a store at etsy. This is a great site to buy handmade items and supplies.
Please don't be cranky about the links I've added. They are for things I like and support. If nothing else, please go over to the free rice site. Learn new words and help buy rice for the world's starving people. Another site I like but will just put a text link here is whip up . You can find easy to make crafts and a forum there. It's a fun site.
I finally started a blog so I can post pictures of patterns I'm working on and keep you all in the loop in what's going on with me and the business. Here's the link: My Blog
I no longer make bears from real fur. The fur affects my allergies so I've had to stop. I've tried wearing masks but it doesn't help when the fur gets all over the place. I will still work with fake fur and other fabrics. I am making tiny crocheted bears. I put up a page of them in the handmade dolls and bears section.
A favorite site for information about cloth dolls isThe Cloth Doll Connection. There's so much info at this site for cloth doll makers. I think you'll enjoy it.
You can buy some of my patterns at these two sites:
Cloth Doll PatternsA great site for all kinds of patterns!
Doll Maker's JourneyNot only patterns but dollmaking supplies as well!
and don't forget Cloth Doll Supply. The link is above.
If you ever get one of my patterns and it's missing pages please contact me. If you send an email and don't hear from me it may be that it has been caught with my spam filter. Please try to contact me by calling, writing, or thru my ebay or etsy stores.
One last favorite site is My Wycked Ways. I know it sounds a bit naughty but it's a great site to buy supplies to make fairy wings and sculpt dolls. I'm a big fan of her wings and plan on using them in a future pattern!
