Her Doll babies will forever hold a place in my heart mine was my first CPK I ever had when my mom couldn't afford the CPK. My doll that I originally had is long gone. I have mad one since witha cpk body and the doll baby head. i want to find more of them and make them.

I was very saddened to hear of Martha's passing...It is because of her that I came to realize that creativity is art....May her family know the people she inspired..

I was looking for Martha to tell her about a crochet pattern on "Crochet Crowd" that is a hat that made a little girl look like one of her dolls.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I talked to her about a year ago and sent her a picture of Matthew 4/29/1977. Matthew said he was sorry too

I will miss you so much my Aunt Martha, I can't imagine not having our weekly talks. I know your up in heaven making dollies for all the little children taken too soon as you were. Love always,
Russell

I remember meeting Martha the first time she showed her dolls at Berea Fair. George and I were so charmed by them and by the creative and gentle spirit Martha had. Through the years, her work never ceased to delight me. I treasure the memory of knowing her.
