I thought I was done but then 2 more got designed! This one is Poppy-

All the flowers and leaves are cashmere and I love how they are soft and will move around when you run your hand over their softness. The background green is boiled wool; not so soft but an excellent color.

I keep forgetting to mention that I have a pattern for the swaddled babies in my etsy shop, in case you are inspired to make your own.

And some little birds too!

I love how this baby’s face turned out- sort of wistful.

Here is a top view-

This entire piece is made of very soft fabric- either angora/wool blends or cashmere. I didn’t sew the leaves all the way down onto the body piece because I wanted that fluttery look and texture.

Below is the back, and sorry for the fuzzy focus.

I am having (maybe a little too much) fun with the embroidery.

This is #3.

My desk looks like an explosion of threads as I keep pulling more and more out of various drawers!

Folk art baby time! I love doing the raw-edge wool applique on these dolls.
