Yes…another Dolly church…(and there may be yet another one later this year)…
Late last year, Will posted the picture below of an 11-inch tall Dolly church he saw on an auction site…I knew I had to build one…but decided on making a smaller version that is only 7 ¼-inches tall…see the two pattern sheets…I’ll post a picture of my finished version shortly…
My very best regards…
