Mother Plays with Dolls

This week our club had it’s birthday. We are 22 years old all thanks to the encouragement of the cloth doll guru elinor peace bailey. In honour of elinor’s 80th birthday, our club choose to interpret the “mother plays with dolls” rag doll pattern. The results were amazing and so much fun to see.
