This Gal Needs a Quilt!
 

Something a little different - I just like to sew! I found this gal in an antique store, it's hard to find tall dolls like this, much less ones in this good shape. She's been hanging out in my closet in her underwear for some time now so decided she needed an outfit. I see a lot of doll quilts on the board, I've not ventured into something on a smaller scale so think it's about time!

She looks much better now rather than being in her underwear.

Wonderful outfit!! I had a doll like that when I was a little girl!

I love her outfit!

She is beautiful. How tall is she?

Oh my, she is the spitting image of my "bride doll" that was the last doll I got when I was a little girl. Luckily, she's still dressed in her bridal gown with veil and not in her "underwear"!! HeHe! Maybe she was a "runaway bridge"!! Mine is very old (well so am I)...I think I got her for my 12th birthday which would make the doll 50 years old in July. I wish I could find out her maker but there is no name except "Horseman" on the box!

Maybe I need to update her look like that she's in the 50 Something range. Whatcha think?

She looks good. Barn raising with scraps might be a good doll quilt.

If you look up Horseman dolls (I have several) you may be able to find out more info. She looks just like the one I have made by Horseman, dated 1933

She is lovely, reminds me of Audrey Hepburn fro Breakfast at Tiffaneys..

She is 23" tall. It's hard to find anything for her. I did find shoes for her on Ebay (they were outrageously expensive but at least she has shoes now) and I found some tights for her too. She was nude when I bought her, I made the underwear too.
