DOLLS
My mother was a doll maker. I watched with fascination as
she created gorgeous clothes for her cloth and porcelain
dolls. She was known for her small, leather doll shoes. I tried
to make dolls when mom was alive, but my dolls were strange
and completely different than mom's. After mom passed away
in 1986, I was obsessed with dolls and had a new interest in
making them. In our catalog, you will see many doll rubber
stamps that can be made into dolls. I hope you enjoy seeing
some of the dolls I have created. They are all cloth dolls and I
have painted or stamped the fabric, sewn them and then
stuffed them after cutting about a half inch area around the
doll shape. After stuffing them, I paint that 1/2" area around
the doll with acrylic paint. When the paint is dry, I use very
sharp embroidery scissors and cut around the doll leaving
about 1/8" of border. I paint the border with additional colors
of paint to finish the doll.

I added two dolls to the above free-standing mini quilt sculptures. The dolls were created like
the other dolls. The doll in the above sculpture has a metal face that I make with thin metal and
a ballpoint pen. I punched two holes in the metal and sewed the metal face to the doll. I also
added strips of fabric for that doll's hair. Both dolls were glued with fabric glue to the
sculptures.
