Nancy, A Folk Art Rag Doll

Nancy is a folk art rag doll made to my Nora pattern. Her body is sewn from vinatge calico, tea stained for age. She has a hand painted, hand embroidered face with wool tops for hair in a rich brunette with just of touch of grey.

She is dressed in Liberty Lawn fabric in a full frock with coordinating underskirts and knickers finished with a lace petticoat. The Liberty fabric is called Thorpe and is reminiscent of a meadow in full bloom just before they fall, with pinks, greys and soft greens. She has a rose quartz heart for love and lavender within her stuffing for a gentle scent. Her dress is finished with tiny buttons, pink organza ribbon and little leather shoes. She sports a lavender sachet embroidered in sampler style to match her dress.

Nancy is fourteen inches tall with a warm heart and a gentle face, a lovely girl to sit on a bed or chair.  I think she makes a gentle hearted companion, all my girls are good listeners!
