This one particularly played into my handmade vintage loving heart. The little doll quilt here, was mine, and was made for me by my beautiful Grandma. She made one for my two older sisters and I, and we each had a different coloured surround. Mine was pink, and I think Jane and Suzanne's were lavender and lemon. The also came with a little matching pillow.
It is so special to me to know that Elsie is playing with something made by her great Grandmother, someone who would have loved her to bits! It keeps that link alive. It is precious, and I could put it up in a cupboard to keep it safe, but then it wouldn't be nearly as special. It was made to use, and love and keep dolls warm, and I couldn't be happier that this gift from Grandma is still living on.
enjoy your week,
Michelle xx

It brought a tear to the 'ol eye, to see that little quilt which was so lovingly made so long ago.
Yes, Grandma would be so happy knowing Elsie is using it.. xx
Lovely post Michelle....Bess has my childhood love "Ëffie" with her on her bed every night. He's a very 70's navy codoroy elephant, and I love the fact that he continues to be loved, dressed up and often partakes in tea parties in the yard.
