A Custom Made Doll for Paula M.

December 15, 2016 paulawalton4 Comments

All ready to head to her new home in time for Christmas! This is a special order custom doll for Paula M. She is a reproduction of my Isabeau with an almost perfect paint surface, bare feet, and a dress made from fabric in her new mom’s stash of reproduction Civil War era cotton prints.

Trimming the tree.

Paula’s doll took a few minutes to help decorate the parlor, before packing for her trip to her new home ❤

Hmmm… which color ornament to hang first?

Black velvet bows on her shoulders add a dressy touch to her dress.

Back details…

Ringlett curls 🙂

A new doll for Paula M. ❤

A Reproduction of Isabeau for Carolyn

December 8, 2016 paulawalton6 Comments

A sweet “almost perfect” Isabeau, made especially for Carolyn ❤ Dressed in an antique “double pink” fabric that is almost cherry red… very seasonal for December!

Just for Carolyn, a custom reproduction Izannah Walker.

Getting dressed!

The fabric for Carolyn’s doll dress came from the back of a mid-19th century log cabin quilt. It’s is a glorious, but sadly worn quilt… As I was carefully removing tiny quilting stitches, to free the backing, I got such a nice surprise! Log Cabin quilt blocks are pieced on a foundation fabric. The fabric used for the foundation of many of the blocks is an amazing 1830’s/1840’s brown and blue print. I love every fabric in this quilt! After I remove all of the backing, I will remove the blocks that are too shattered to repair, repair the more stable ones, by piecing in period fabrics in similar colors and patterns, then reassemble the blocks into a slightly smaller quilt. I had planned to add and plain muslin backing, but now I’m thinking that I will do without a backing, so that the foundation fabric will show… Slightly unorthodox, but beautiful. Adding new binding around the edges will be the finishing touch ❤

Just for Carolyn, a custom reproduction Izannah Walker.

Annabelle & Annalee Are Homeward Bound

October 19, 2016 paulawalton3 Comments

The twins, Annabelle and Annalee, are headed to their new home. ❤

I truly love these twins! There is something so magical about doubles. I tried my best to capture the twin’s beguiling personalities, but have to say they are much more engaging in person! I made their matching dresses in one of my very favorite styles, from an amazing piece of pristine c. 1850 double pink print cotton. At the beginning of the summer I was fortunate enough to run across a bag filled with the fabric stash of some long ago quilter… The bag contained a few pieced blocks, many applique cut outs and quite a bit of unused fabric. It was an unbelievable find!
