Wow!
Don't look at the dolls for once and look at the quilt behind them. Is beautiful! It attracted me more than the dolls. |
Though I thought they were interesting, I didn't really care much for them either - especially the stick parts.
But, they did sort of remind me of Jim Shore pieces, and I really love his stuff. Why then did this not appeal so much? I think becuase there needs to be a little more cuddliness or softness to them. You could make a doll head/torso, then put on quilted dresses. Maybe long and flowing like a Christening gown. Add some wings to make it your quilting angel. Hang it on the door of your quilting room, or on the wall above your sewing machine as a good luck charm. Name it and give it a story (like they say so and so saint is the one who watches over people in such and such situations). For example: Mary is the the one who watches over your swatches at night, or Sandra patiently rips out the seams that aren't 1/4", etc. For such tiny skirts, guess we could always use Rhonda Woodsmall's templates for our blocks - right? It might be a fun swap. I have some simple doll patterns........... |
They remind me of the crochet'd dolls my grandmother used to make that go over toilet paper rolls and sit on the back of the toilet.

I love the artistic part of it but it is sooOOOooo not me. I design stuffed dolls and these make me think that they got run over by a semi truck lol. But artistically I appreciate them but I don't see me making one like that - uh, ever.

Personally, I thought they were pretty darn ugly -- and did you see the one that was $220??????

Interesting, but not my thing.

A broken stick and some old scraps of blue jeans and added a little creativity and she has made a friend !!! I find her very inspiring !!!!
