Interesting quilted dolls
#12
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...........

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.

Mary Jane Butler, she also has a face book page , there are several photos of her work.
She is very creative !!!
I Like her work. some better than others !!!!
I do like this one alot !!!! It is made from sticks, old blue jeans, and she is a blonde......
I like the idea of using nature that is given for our pleasure !!!!
She has taken something old and made it something new !!!
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 !!!!
