Dolls in London

While at the Knitting & Stitching Show in

London I was excited to see Mavis Walker’s

Chess Set. She has worked on this for years.

There were several other doll exhibits at the

show – all cloth – but photography wasn’t

allowed. I was glad to see that Mavis was

open to people taking photo’s of her dolls.

The other photo I have to share is a stitched

piece that was in the entry as we walked into

the show at Alexander Palace. Fun at Fobbles

Many of you know I mainly seem to

teach workshops outside the U.S. The

shop in the photo below is in the Lake

District of England and I go there every

year. The shop and classroom are in a

400 year old converted barn, and on a

working farm. The owners raise sheep

dogs and have sheep to train the dogs.

This year we made my wee doll –

Peony. Several got their dolls finished,

but we do work hard for 3 days.
