As ever she is to my own pattern with hand styling and embroidery, dressed in a fetching aqua blue with brilliant berries and leaves. Her dress is trimmed with tiny buttons and organza ribbon with a brass ring so that she can hang. She is gently stuffed with lavender added and sporting a tiny sampler style lavender sachet to complete her outfit.
These little dolls are a delight to make and I enjoy their individual faces. I never want an homogeneous look to their faces and always try to make each girl individual but I must confess to being hung up on brown eyes - I am just finishing a little girl with blue eyes and I have to say I like her. So more blue and green eyes.
The fabric for this little doll is another selection bought in Holland and again their combination is just great. Those ladies have a really good eye. Well off to North Wales tomorrow for a quilt exhibition - I will take lots of photos and look forward to sharing. All my very best.
