Well I’ve added quite a few new dolls to my collection. I have purchased an Ann Estelle doll, Riley and Ellery by Helen Kish and a 14″ Betsy McCall to go with the little 8″ one I purchased last year. I was so excited about these dolls and the possibilities of outfits that I went out and bought a new smocking Pleater so I could make smocked dresses. My son laughed at me because I have 5 pieces of fabric pleated and no dresses finished. But that’s okay. The first one I’m going to finish is a little purple one for Riley. It is smocked with yellow and purple embroidery floss.
I also joined a Yahoo Group for Riley Kish dolls. I’ve enjoyed reading the posts but have not left any yet. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rileykish/
Well, back to work, happy sewing.
