Information about a Quilted Northern collectible doll?
Cleaning house I came across an old doll that my grandmother gave me that I'd like to get rid of, but it looks like a collectible so I'm wondering if there's a market for it. If anyone could direct me to sites or give me more information about this doll it'd be greatly appreciated. I believe the doll is from the early to mid 90's, I believe it's legs, hands and head are made of porcelain with a cloth body. It stands up with one of those dolls stands. The doll is a young girl with blue eyes and freckles, her hair is blonde, chin length with bangs with one red bow to the side. Her clothes are a red turtle neck dress with ruffled edges and a scalloped pattern blue line of embroidery just inside the edge. Over the dress is a light blue sleeveless dress that is open in the front and closes with two heart shaped snap ons. On either side of the front of this blue smock are little pockets with bows made of the blue and red. The inside of the pockets and the jumper/smock/outer dress is an off white with a pattern of green stems and leaves with little red heart flowers. She is also wearing bloomers of the same pattern and fabric. The little doll has frilly white socks and red shoes with one buckle on the ankle and a bow on the top of the to. With this doll is about a 7 or 8" square soft blanket that is quilted to look like bath tissue. It has a silk and lace edging. In the lower right corner of this blanket is embroidered 'Quilted Northern' in dark blue, capital serif letters. I would like to know more about this doll, it's in nice condition but I just don't have any special connection with it, nor room to store it any longer. Any information would be helpful, I don't know a lot about dolls, thank you.
