Dear Stirling

If you’re a subscriber to Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine you may notice a familiar page! My EPP Swallow Tattoo was featured in the “this month we’re loving” section! 😱🥳

I’m super excited to announce the Halloween 2022 patterns are posted over on Etsy! I teased that the Jack-o-lantern would be coming in my last post, but surprise it’s actually 3 patterns! Halloween Cat, Halloween Bat, and Jack-O-Lantern! I’ve also bundled them for a bit of a discount if you want to take on all three 😍

These have been so fun to make, Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate and celebrate! I hope you love them!

Impossible to snap a photo of a quilt on the floor without toddler toes appearing.
Attached my to my quilt 🥰and now complete. This rainbow goodness is now a permanent couch and snuggle spot ❤️ I hope it brings rainbows and sunshine for many years to come. Swipe for toddler quilt monster 😜

Well, my very first pattern is live on Etsy ! I’m so excited to see where this takes me. I’m already elbow deep in number 2! ❤️
This pattern requires some paper, thread, scrap sized fabric and a heavy suggestion of a fabric glue pen.
Please tag me if you make it! 😻 Link in bio 🪡

Moving my Instagram over to .stirling , would be honored if you would like to follow along. I may come back to dolls in the future, but I’m excited about all kinds of textile creativity and am pursing my interests there. Thank you for all your support ❤️ everything on fb will remain the same for now :)

Toddler sized Bear Paw quilt is now in the shop, so exciting! Quilting is a very different direction than dolls so I hope you will all enjoy this new venture. I love how the methodical structure juxtaposes the playful creativity with the dolls.
This cutie has the best camping 🏕 woodland theme backing, is machine pieced and quilted and hand bound with lots of love 💗

I made this mini bunny as an experiment for a smaller version of the dolls, and she’s been waiting for her forever friend. Well today she was gifted to a brand new babe 🥰
What do you think, would you like to see more similar to this?

Customized this handsome fella for a very special little babe! 🥰

Etsys not updated STILL but the bunny babes are, DM for purchase!

The universe heard me say I was going to be productive and decided it was a good time for me to have both kids home all week! 🥴 so updating Etsy pictures and listings have had to wait! I’m going to reset and aim for next Monday instead 🤞🏼
In the meantime if you’d like one of the dolls I’ll still honor the $75 CAD +shipping via dms! Pick your doll and your outfit!🧡 TYSM for your patience

Hi everyone!! It’s been a while 😳
This gang is sitting on my shelf waiting for someone to love them so I’m going to have a sale starting on Monday! Hopefully will get everyone some new glamour shots too with the beautiful weather 🤗

I just listed this lovely pup over on Etsy, her floral skirt and headband may just be my fave fabric 🥰

I have had a bit of creative block with the dolls - so my sewing has taken a bit of a turn and with it I think Dear Stirling will evolve. I will still be making handmade dolls for you and your littles to love, but I feel the creative urge to branch out and explore where my creativity takes me. Soon Dear Stirling will become textile arts, studio perhaps? We shall see. I hope you will join me on this journey, as I’m excited for what the possibilities might be. 💕

Our giveaway winner is an ultimate good boy 💕 thanks to everyone for participating and congratulations again to ❤️ 🥳

Been in a bit of a creative slump this past week and off of social - so here’s a cute pic of cute bunnies!! 🐰🐰
3 weeks to Easter!

This type of photograph is an exercise in how far can I stretch my arm and take an in focus photograph 😅 It’s nice to see the scale though! All the dolls are around 20” from head to toe, but I’m thinking my next round I will experiment a bit with designs and size 🙃
