Angel Wings




These soft but firm cloth quilted wings make any doll or stuffed animal into an angel. They fit most any size creature, tying on with attached silver or gold ribbon that loops through plastic rings to hold them in place. Dolls and bears shown are from my older brother's childhood, my daughter's childhood, and my granddaughter's (present) childhood and are not for sale. Wings: $10.

Sleepy Sheep

These Sleepy Sheep are the same size as the Sleepy People, filled with millet, made of nubbly stretchy cloth which moves wonderfully when handled. The sheep's faces, ears, and feet are velvet stuffed with polyester fluff. Perhaps the silliest item I make, they make many people laugh outloud. $18.

The Blessing Doll

Letting the doll represent whoever needs help, tie a ribbon with a gold angel on it around the part of the body that needs blessings. Place the doll wherever you will see it frequently, to remind you to send the needed blessings. Doll is 8" high, muslin, stuffed with fiberfill. $15

Pieceful Bears



These charming cuddley pieced bears are 14" tall, stuffed with fiberfill, eager to be played with by child or adult. Sometimes I make them out of vintage cloth, such as the brown one pictured here. $24

The blue bear is just modeling the quilted angel wings. You order them separate from the bear for $8, and they fit almost any doll or stuffed animal.

Matroyshka Dolls

Inspired by the Russian nesting Matroyshka dolls, these 8" pillow-type dolls have their babushkas, hair, and aprons machine appliqued onto them. They are stuffed with fiberfill. I have hand painted their sweet faces. Limited edition. The ones you see here are the only ones I will make: they take too much time! $18.

Laurel Burch cats

Made of soft flannel cloth designed by Laurel Burch, these cats are backed with sensual velour and filled with millet so they are soothing to hold and feel. 3 1/2" to 5" depending on the cat. $4

Padded Purses


Soft, padded purses for change or credit cards, 3" by 4 1/2 inches. No two alike. The inside and outside cloth and button are chosen to complement one another, sometimes in an amusing way. Opening the purse is a surprise, since the inside cloth is different. Appeals to many ages and both sexes of children depending on the print of the cloth. Each Padded Purse comes with a penny and a little gold "confetti" angel inside, the penny for good fortune, the angel for blessings.
