These are great! There are 30 of them. They are 10" tall and hand stitched. The lady said her grandmother made them a few years ago but never finished them before she passed away (true or not), they are well done. Just wish I had the time to do something with them!

Oh, you must do somthing with these cute little girls - after all, the hard work is done, isn't it? I wish I could find things like this. If you don't want to do anything with them, pm me and I will take them off your hands for you.

WOW! They are fabulous! A friend of mine is making them on her machine. I saw a quilt done with them recently at a shop. It wouldn't take long to put sashing around each block and make up a quilt.

Is someone crazy? They sold these to someone out of the family? What is wrong with people!

I am sorry ... but, I know you understand what I am saying. These little sunbonnets tooks hours and days to make. It makes me sad for the maker they got rid of them.

I am happy for you though, because you will make them into something special and treasure them as your own.

Can you tell if there is interfacing on the back of the dolls?I have two kits I bought of thid little girl and one of the boy.Can't decide how to do them.I have seen where they sew the interfacin on then turn it,then no need to turn under the edge. I want to use the blanket stich on them once I get them on to the block.

There sure is a lot of them.Do you think that is more than one quilt?

What a great find. Are you going to sell them on your ebay site?
