This is Tilly, she is a tall girl at 16 inches, she is dressed in an old quarter of quilting fabric and has recycled knickers, underskirt and stripy legs. The dress fabric was a gift from an elderly lady who was shutting down her work room, I think it is from the 1980's but I am not sure. It made a pretty dress anyhow, the collar is from a tiny piece of cotton velvet I had left from a stumpwork piece of peas. She is holding a little stripy bird and has shell buttons as an embellishment to her dress. This is the last of my stripy shirt fabric, it has been great and so versatile but sadly the rest of David's shirts are ok so I will have to wait. As always she has a hand painted, hand embroidered face and her hair is hand stitched wool tops. I am loving this colour, its from a range of wool tops by Trimmits, it comes in a tiny bag and is not expensive but has a wonderful range of colours. This candy pink is my favourite, I just can't get enough of it. It gives the dolls a wonderful warmth to their faces.
