Connie and I got three totes cleaned out. What a trip going down memory lane! She took home one box of TO DO's and I put two smaller ones back on the shelf. We 'found' over a dozen quilt kits from past years.
One baggie had 25 girls who had originally been pieces cut from feed sack sewn into Dresden plates. Connie took 12 and I kept the rest. Don't hold your breath but we both think we can get a top done before the end of the year. No betting- this is not a race.

These sets all had the same hat and waist/body. I will try them out on different background to see what looks good. |
|
I traditionally lay the girls out on white or cream background- Thinking I like the olive green better. |
|
Yep, I will go with the green and changed out the hats too. |

I have enough vintage white w/black mushrooms (looks like dots- right?) to do all twelve of my dolls. |
I usually use a 16 1/2 x 18 1/2" background and set together with strips and setting sqs. I have not planned ahead to decide on fabrics to set the top. Any suggestions?
