While browsing in an antiques store recently, I spotted a large plastic “baggie” that held a number of little stuffed figures: dolls that depict former times. Enchanted by them, I brought them home. They look as though they were made from printed fabric that was purchased by the yard, the figures cut out, sewn and stuffed. They are rather charming. On some of them, there is single digit number visible on the bottom. I set them upright in a basket of raffia so they would stand up straight! Here is a photo.

If anyone has any knowledge about these dolls, I would love to hear from you. Write to: pat@quiltersmuse.com Thanks!
