Tidbit 6

Does anyone know what they are? These two adorable kittens have been at my Grand Parents house since I’ve been alive. They are printed stuffed cats. Not sure if these were sold already made, sold as outlines that you stuffed and sewed, or were folk art. Open to any information about them. Thank you.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta experiencing all the fun things which make that place so unique. Taught 26 years in a Delta school before retiring to start a new career so I understand the challenges of our area. Growing up at Lula near the Helena Bridge, I was lucky to have one foot on each side of the river. I feel at home in both Arkansas and Mississippi. Much like so many of our famous writers and musicians, I realized the Delta is just one place with a great river running through it. View all posts by Cliff Dean

I’m pretty sure the cat dolls were feed sack dolls from the 1930’s. The pattern was printed on the bags of flour, etc, cut out, sewn and stuffed.

  Thank you. I was sorta thinking along those lines too. My Grandparents were married in 1925 and they look like something my Grandmother would have put together.
