I remember Laura mentioning that Mary was piecing a Dove In The Window block and as an adult I have looked up that block, and there are many. I wonder which one she was making.

The illustrations were not nearly as delicate as Wilkins. But I was fascinated by the book. I can’t wait to read your up coming posts.bookkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253071565106991458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890937260130797406.post-40123733193330753642021-05-26T17:53:45.317-07:002021-05-26T17:53:45.317-07:00Oh my...you certainly stirred some memories...I...Oh my...you certainly stirred some memories...I'm 62 years old and the only book I've kept from my childhood is My Dolly and Me...and I have no idea why...I've got to dig it out and take a look!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243414083759904771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890937260130797406.post-31460655426275408262021-05-26T10:22:26.168-07:002021-05-26T10:22:26.168-07:00Eloise Wilken's illustrations are my favorite....Eloise Wilken's illustrations are my favorite. She was able to tell the stories without any words. My favorite is 'Baby Dear'. I had a baby brother and was about 10 yrs. old when this book came out. There were no siblings between us so he was very precious to me. The illustrations made me feel so safe. My favorite was the illustration showing the mother holding the baby in front of a picture window with a sunset in the background. I have a badly worn copy of that book. I also have 'Baby's 1st Christmas. Other book illustrations I loved were Snow White and Rose Red in the Book House Books and the Musicians of Bremen in The Tall Book of Fairy Tales, Harper Collins Publishers. <br />Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.com
