I wanted to post some pictures of doll quilts like I collect here today... I love the older quilts that were made for little girls and their dollies and thought you might enjoy seeing some of them and a couple made by a couple of older ladies in my doll club.
Ann passed away Saturday night, age 94... She lives on in our hearts and in the quilts she made for us... Old and faded doll quilt from estate sale [ATTACH=CONFIG]229523[/ATTACH] One I found at a thrift store [ATTACH=CONFIG]229524[/ATTACH] Tag on the black Uncle Sam quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]229525[/ATTACH] One of my first little quilts made by me..

Seems he's a book seller now: http://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action;jsessionid=p61YV1bX5vtuX7axYAyYlA**.app4-i?id=73800465 Read the small print on the bottom. "He was a very active Board Member of the Surface Design Association in its early days. His batiks were significant in detailed designs and many color changes. He then switched to quilt-making and, together with his doll-maker wife, marketed the products under the studio-name Pea Ridge Purties. Steve is now a full time book seller. " |
