Small Items: and old quilt come home and Tilda doll stuffed

I really admire the work of Tone Finnager and her wonderful dolls.  So here is mine stuffed.  She may just stay this way as she seems at home in my sewing room in her pink underwear.

On a side note my youngest son was home from University and brought back his quilt for repairs.  I made it quite a few years ago now but I still like the bright colours and slick way those stars went together.  The red edging is velvet and that has worn very well.  Its the corners where I neglected to put velvet - oops!

The China Dolls

Sometime back in the 1980s these small china dolls were very popular.  My sister and I got our hands on a few.  We made one up for her with a beautifully embroidered pinafore.  She was blond.  Somehow I have a blond one and a dark one in my cupboard....

 Kind of fun to work on.  Easy too.  The legs and arms are just glued to the china parts.  The last step is putting on the heads.

I thought they looked pretty crazy without their heads.  More prosaic with them on...
