Machine Pieced
Hand Embroidered
Hair - Hand-tied
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
Pattern - McCall's #5713 (C) 1977
I made the Raggedy "Ann" for our daughter -
And the Raggedy "Andy" for our son -
As Christmas presents in 1977 -
Finding the time to sew -
After the kids went to sleep in the evening -
And at work during my lunch hours -
Couldn't have them see me working on their presents - ;))
The next year -
At the County Fair -
October 1978 -
Only one entry was allowed in the category -
So I chose "Ann" -
She won a blue ribbon - ;))
QJ - 1978

OH, too cute and brought back memories. I made Raggedy Ann dolls for my girls (as well as many others) and when I made one for my first granddaughter for Christmas, my daughter cried! She said it brought back so many memories from her childhood. She was living in Missouri and was a bit homesick ;-)
