I bought this homemade cloth doll before Christmas from Edyth O'Neill. Something about this doll appealed to me, with her almost faceless concentration. Those piercing eyes! This doll is made with a kind of twill flannel fabric. She is about 21" tall.
Today I sat her in the 1840's child's chair I bought when I went to the Withington Auction over a year ago. I'm so glad I bought that chair! I love it and my dolls in progress love it, too.
The hands especially appeal to me with their folky-ness.
Candyjacks recently sold a similar folk art doll on Ebay
which was a similar size and had an embroidered face.
