Jerrie, these are so cute. My Mother always made dolls. I would never have the patience. You do a good job. I have admired the ones in your avatar. I know her grandchildren will be happy. Have you seen the happy/sad doll? Mother made those. I still have mine. You made the clothes too? They are cute. Now, tell me how you did the hair. If you want to. I like them.

My Grandmother made doll for all my sister and me, she put on their heart our name and that she loved us and signed her name. At 47 this is one of the most important gift I still have from my childhood. Now I have done the same thing for fo my granddaughter.

mistress4taz 05-18-2010 07:07 AM

Are these dolls the size of the old cabbage patch dolls? My grandmother made dolls (she called them cabbage patch pals) for my mother and her two sisters, myself and all my cousins(5 boys, 2 girls) and she made 4 doll pals for my sons. She no longer sews because of arthritis. I am needing a boy and girl (caucasion) if they are the same as the pattern she used. Can you make the doll pals and how much would you charge. I will see if she still has her patterns.

ann clare 05-18-2010 10:19 AM

They are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

esach101 05-22-2010 07:38 PM

These are adorable and unique! How much for a set; wish to donate them to the Mamye Clayton Library and Museum in Los Angeles, California. They are cataloging the late founders, Ms. Clayton's and her late son Avery's collection of all things African-American. They have only 2-3 quilts and no garments made by African-Americans. Both persons spent over 40 years collecting these items, and once the Museum is officially opened, it promises to be the largest collection of it's type in the Western United States. If any of you reader's are interested in donating quilts and/or garments, please email me. I'll email you specifics on whom to contact and/or
how to send donations at the Museum.

esach101 05-22-2010 08:00 PM

Also forgot the mention, the Museum will accept all types of media about or written by African-Americans: books, newspapers, magazines, historical pictures, art works, audio works, old vintage records, etc. I am a volunteer at the Museum and want to see Mayme and her son Avery's life work come to fruition. For more on Avery Clayton and the museum, go to PBS.org and click on History Detectives or input his name. There is a video of Avery being interviewed by Russ Cowan. Also, the Automobile Club of America (California) featured Avery in one of it's magazines within the last 7 months. Unfortunately, I donated all issues I could beg upon to the museum and don't remember the exact month in which the article was written.
