Now that I have a curio cabinet in my sewing room I am not only filling it with fabric, but also using it to display some special memories of my childhood.

I got out of the storage box I have carted from one home to another for 32 years.

In it was this. My first doll quilt, made by my Mom & my first baby doll, given to me by my Grandfather when I was born in 1960. Her name is Nancy.

Here she is, along with my Mom's baby doll & the last "doll" I got. A music doll, plays "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"
