and "Tully" (Rosalie Quinlan Designs - Honeysuckle Cottage Christmas Club). Tully is an excellent design for a novice dollmaker - easy-to-follow instructions, no painted face and the clothes all have frayed edges.
I really have a problem with choosing fabrics for applique - takes me ages. Would be much easier to buy kits but I am determined to keep using fabrics from my stash. Spent yesterday morning cutting out all the strips
and the afternoon and evening choosing/ironing/cutting fabrics for the centre medallion - I had traced all the shapes onto vliesofix on Monday night. .
For a change of pace during the afternoon I cleaned the fridge (how desperate was I for a distraction?) and cooked dinner. The last piece was ironed on at 11.45 pm! At least it's now ready to be blanket-stitched.

Not ready yet to try needleturn on a block like this one.

Your dolls are cute. Tully took my eye. I love doll like her. I havent made one yet but you might have inspired me. Thank you
your dolls look great and for someone who hates picking fabrics for your applique you sure picked a beautiful lot.........
Your applique block is just gorgeous! I love the colors that you pick. How will you machine applique it?
