I just found out from a friend the picture I embroidered from a stamped kit is based on artwork from Jan Hagara. Her name is Emily and appears to be the same as the figurine released in 1984-1985. I had no idea this was a collectible print.
found the kit on ebay! |
I fell in love with this design when my daughter was a little girl, so I just had to embroider it. At the time this image depicted her look to a T = the long curly hair and Victorian dresses she wore day in and day out, up until about the 4th grade. Except for one little detail, my daughter was blond and her dolls usually brunettes. Now upon close inspection of the embroidery I can see the artist's name imprinted on the bottom right where I embroidered my daughter’s name over it. Pam thanks for the history!
