I have been purging in the attic and the things I have been finding are a real trip down memory lane! I was not a dollmaker like Saundra, and this is the extent of my doll making. I am guessing these are from the early 80's. "Primitive" sure has changed over the years. These are darn near considered vintage 😁
Another "primitive" doll that was gifted to me from dear college friend Wink. Probably the same vintage. If you look at the her apron, it says "Lauren, a stitcher of fine samplers". Back then that was my handwork of choice.
Many of you hookers reading this will most likely recognize the name Sibyl Osicka. Sibyl is a most talented hooker, teacher and author of many hooking books. I am just passing on that her husband passed away a couple days ago. Anyone wishing to send her a card, please email me and I will send you her snail mail address. I'm sure cards will be most appreciated.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

Oh yes, I remember those vintage dollies. And probably made one or two of those as a starting dollmaker. Sometimes it's fun travelling down memory lane.
Oh yes I do remember having prim dolls like this. Mine were in blue and mauve. Janice
I have a few of those 'prim' dolls here too...yes, how things change! Sorry to hear of Sybil's hubby passing :(
Aww those dolls take me back . I loved them then and still have a soft spot for them. That was when geese were popular too
I was never a doll maker but I did have (still have???) some dolls like that. (When you're done with your attic, will you come tackle my basement???) ~Robin~
Well of course I remember those dolls.
It is hard to clean out isn't it.
