I’ve made another little (6" tall) embroidered doll for a baby gift. I’m working on matching booties and bonnets for each of the gifts and then I can switch over to another little baby that’s coming soon, my neice Maggie! My sister and I have picked out some beautiful fabric for her quilt. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.

I love the embroidery. I have been working hard on a few baby gifts myself and it has been a lot of fun. For these are you sketching them and then doing an iron transfer?
Again wonderful work as always.

Your things are always so cute. I really love the redhead girl… she is precious!!!

i just read your blog for the first time and i saw in one of your days that you were looking for printer-sticker paper. i used to do that to but now i have xyron machines and you can turn anything into a sticker! you should check it out–it has changed so much of what i do and opened up a lot of possibilities…let me know if you have questions or trouble finding info.
This is lovely. Another reminder I haven’t embroidered for awhile. What a precious gift for a baby.
oh! how sweet! i love her bow and her shoes. her wee shoes!
lovely. what a wonderful gift for a lil one.
a baby gets her?? i mean-i wouldn’t fight a baby for it-but if I WERE to fight a baby for it-I’d win. I’m just saying.
My sister just adopted a redheaded baby(8 months)
and I was wondering if I could order one of these dolls for her. If yes-please let me know how much it would be, and then I could see if it would fix into my budget. ps-Your site is great-
