Garden Lady pillow doll

Fall is coming but I am still in a summer flower mood.

Although if I call these dahlias, then they are very seasonal! I have seen loads of Monarch butterflies lately and that makes me very happy.

Blue Flowers and Butterflies

Another Lady, this one in a more muted colorway. Maybe? I mean that turquoise blue POPS!

I really like how the zig-zaggy sweater bits turned into butterfly wings.

Big Flowers! It is dahlia season in my garden and they are beautiful this year! Somehow though, the ones that have thrived are all dark purple but I’m not complaining.

Cashmere knit, wool knit, wool felt, boiled wool, wool boucle- so many different fabrics and textures.

I meant to post her yesterday but I got my flu shot on Friday afternoon and that pretty much knocked me out for 24 hours. Thank goodness I am back to myself again today!

Lots of cashmere applique on this lady. Almost all of the embellishments are bits cut from cashmere sweaters. The boucle fabric that her dress is made of was fabric from my Mom’s stash. I will be working through her fabrics for the rest of my life!

Here are a lot of detail shots of the butterflies-

And here she is, sitting with her friend who I will post tomorrow.

The lady with all the cats! She has dark purple hair but it is hard to see in the photos.

All the cats-

She is the last one for now.

All her flowers, butterflies, and her light green dress are cashmere and so, so soft.

And her beige slippers-

Her flowers go all the way around her neckline.

I wanted to play with all my cashmere bits so this lady’s applique is almost all cashmere and so soft.

Some detail photos-

And her little boots-

And another cat lady.

I was just about to go outside to take photos and it started to rain. Oh well, time to improvise. I took the pics in the garage instead and that is why there is a little more shadowing than usual. Hope that’s not all TMI!
