EMMA ~
Began as a 14" oil painted limited edtion doll, dressed
in vintage fabrics from my collection and sitting in her painted
and antiqued pouting chair complete with her cloth-bound diary
with real entries from her life in the mid 1800's. She is now
available alone (not limited edition) in reproduction fabrics.
CHARLOTTE ~ Another
14" Oil Painted Cloth Doll. Next to my Disney doll, I
would have to say that when out in public with all my other
dolls, Charlotte steals the most hearts. She begins with a
traditional pattern style called "the baseball head" (due
to the construction being similar to how a baseball cover is
sewn). This style creates one of the best true-to-human head
shapes there is using cloth and just a couple of pattern pieces.
Charlotte comes with her bonnet, simple farmgirl dress, undies
trimmed with handmade lace , stockings, and leather shoes.
She is completely stuffed with real wool and has a nice weight
to hold in your hand.

11" COLUMBIAN
DOLL PATTERN (Small size doll)
Some years ago, the Wenham Museum
asked me to do a small kit series of the Miss Columbia doll who lives
in their wonderful collection of historical dolls. This doll, originally
a painted cloth 19" tall doll, is probably the most famous of
the many dolls made by the Adams sisters in the late 1800's, having
traveled led the world raising money for children's charities in
1900. The doll on her tour raised a remarkable amount of money for
the times and everywhere she went, accompanied by her trunk, diary,
coat and bonnet, she was given gifts by the children she visited.
Many of the gifts still live in the museum with the doll and her
things. The original dolls and kits that I did were in a 14" size
which have been brought back as a pattern set. This
is a pattern for an
11" version
of the same doll. The extensive
pattern for the sweet 11" size contains
patterns and instructions for
a girl with bonnet, boy, black versions, other clothes including
small sized coat and bonnet. $18.00 Add
