Russian Nesting Doll

Not offhand - but if you're doing any searches, the dolls are called Matryoshka

Different places also transliterate it into English as Matrushka, Matroshka, or Matrioshka

(in addition to "Nesting Dolls")

Googling for Matryoshka Embroidery, I did find this one person in Russia who does both the dolls and embroidery ...

it's a VERY slow site .. I didn't have the patience to see if she does any cross-over embroideries of Matryohska dolls... None of the other embroidery/Matrxxxshka combinations found anything useful - just lots of places that sell both.

You could resize the ones you found, but it would take quite a bit of work.

narod.ru is one of the slowest hosts in the Russian net (it is free), sorry. And that web-site is the webpage of the artist who paints actual matryoshkas, there is nothing about embroidery there. And a quick search on the runet didn't yield any embroidery results.

Hi Debbi, I found the free ones on AnnTheGrann's website. I'm guessing that you must have a 4 " hoop. I resized it for you.

Funny you should say that - Advanced embroidery has a beautiful set (but they ARE 4" x 7" - worth looking at though!
