Mrs. Perkins!

From here on in she's Missy Perkins! Certainly not old enough to be a Mrs! Oh, what fun I had making her (except for those tiny wee horns!) - what a lovely way to spend a day!

Here she is doing her exercises - not quite as supple as Janet's Mrs. Perkins, but then she has been made by an ex-dollmaker and is pretty heavily stuffed!

Here she is with another softie from Melly & me designs, Birdie! The family are so impressed - I will be making lots more!
PS - Janet, I managed to make our self-set deadline, whew! C'mon, Joy!

Let me be the first to congratulate you on another addition to your family of softies. I just love the yellow mane with the horns. Now that we've done one, the next will be easier, right? Your fabric choices are lovely.

Yes the fabric choice is gorgeous . Even self set deadlines can be great motivation .

Mrs. Perkins turned out very nicely. Every stuffed animal seems to have a personality all their own.

Missy Perkins looks quite proud of herself, doesn't she? But she definitely needs a friend, of the male variety. (wink)

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

HA--Missy Perkins is very soft looking and so ladylike--well, in most of the photo's at least??? Some how I thought we had til May 28th--Oh well, like I said my Mrs. Perkins is all sewed, she just needs some "body" Hopefully that will be soon and I will post her. So what Melly and Me pattern is next for our little group??? Just, Di

Hello Lurline. I love your Mrs Perkins ... so cute doing her exercises. I found the horns the trickest part too! Have another one cute out and ready to stuff ... a rather late birthday present.
