I finally got around to photographing the doll quilt cupboard that Bob has been working on. The back story ---- Back in the 1990s when Bob's mother was downsizing, he found the little cupboard that his Grandpa Bloyd had made in the 1940s for Bob's two sisters. Knowing that he would not inherit it, he took this photo and measured it so that he could replicate it at some point.
It was 30" high, 24" wide, and 12" deep made of plywood with 2 drawers, 2 upper shelves, and 1 lower shelf. Bob's copy is made of salvaged wood.
When he started to work on it in his workshop, he commented it sure would make a cute quilt cupboard. So, naturally, I had to make 5 doll quilts (documented in the previous two blog posts).
And here it is:
In the beginning, Bob thought he would make it to sell; but I think I have convinced him to keep it. I just can't part with it just yet, as I've been a doll lover and anything associated in miniature since my childhood.
For now, it has found a home in my sewing room. The pages from my collection of Dick and Jane books and teacher display pages above the cupboard say it all ---- "Funny, funny Sally."
