New "Averill" doll

I haven't made an Averill doll in quite awhile - and it's been even longer since I made an all-cloth Averill. I gave her hair this morning. The fringed upholstery trim I used is a little fussy and needs trimming, but it's a nice look. 

 

I'm thinking I may use this pattern for my Hoffman Challenge entry this year, modifying the clothing to suit the fabric.

I'm not sure that I'm done with this one, but need to let it sit awhile.

Another Verity doll done!

I finished another Verity doll a couple days ago, and got her photographed today.

I don't usually use hair this color (I usually go for the reds and browns), but wanted to challenge myself a little. Her clothing is made from the same fat quarter bundle as the last Verity doll.

 

I think I'll work on a journal page or two before starting my next doll - an Averill doll, I think. I haven't made one of those in a long time. 

Hope all who celebrate this holiday have a wonderful Easter.
