This old cookie cutter is a Colonial lady. I just know she was a quilter!
Now she will be some valentines for my quilting pals.

Ooo it looks like you will have fun dressing her up :D:D:D

That is very neat! What a cool cookie cutter! I bet it's been around a while!

Very neat idea !! Will have to try this, thank you for sharing.

Cute! I love those old cookie cutters!

What a neat idea! I have a super large ginger bread boy cookie cutter, would make nice christmas quilt for next year. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Wonderful idea! I love it.

What a cute cookie cutter!

Very cute!!! Great idea!!! :)

That was a great idea!!!

Wouldn't it be fun to make 12 gingerbread boy blocks, for each month? Put your gingerbread man in a Hawaiian swimsuit, bunny ears, waving a flag. So many ideas, need more time!

Wow what a super duper idea !! love love love it !! Thank you !

She's wonderful, where in the world did you find her!! Your quilting buddies will be tickled!!

She is cute, never saw a people cookie cutter before, that's going to be adorable, would be nice on a little girl quilt, bag, pillowcase, OH my! The possibilities..... Share your finished project with us, I'd love to see.

How cute! Enjoy! I love the idea!

You are so creative. How cute.

WOW what a cool idea. I have lots of weird cookie cutter and never thought of using them as a pattern. Thanks for sharing a fun new, to me, idea!

Because they are so cute, I laughed out loud. Great idea! Have fun.

isn't it amazing where the inspirations come from... it this thread goes for 20 pages, there could be hundreds of ideas..

aren't we just the most creative group.. yea us!

WOW, what a great idea, Thank you that does make the possibilities endless.

Neat cookie cutter, your quilt will be lovely.

Cool cookie cutter . . . when I saw her I thought "Amish Lady." It would be fun to do an appliqued quilt in traditional Amish solids with her.

What a terrific idea .

So cute.

Just a thought - your super large gingerbread man cookie cutter would make a great gift for a kinder teacher. At our school the kiddos look for the gingerbread man that ran away by checking out different parts of the school. It's a great way to learn the school, and in the end they get to eat him.

Looks like a quilter to me too. What a find. Thanks for sharing.

That sure is a cool cookie cutter!

That is a great idea. I will be taking a class next week, if not snowed in, using a heart cookie cutter for a pincushion.

Great idea--thanks for sharing!

Seems like a natural progression from paper dolls :)

Love your cookie cutter and the idea. Speaking of cookie cutters I used to collected them, had over 300+ different ones in about 5 big boxes. I gave them all to my son who also likes to bake. I still find myself looking for cutters and now I add to my son's collection.

I love the great new ideas I get on this site. I would never have thought of using a cookie cutter to make quilt appliques. Guess I have to move my cookie cutter box from the kitchen cabinet to my sewing room.

Isn't it funny that when you get the quilting bug everything will give you ideas for a quilt theme? She is beautiful. Marvel

that's so cute. Love that cookie cutter. :) She'll have an awesome time getting dressed up!

Very clever idea,and unique too!

A very neat idea.

Neat idea! Surely she's a quilter! :)

Thanks for the idea..now to check my cc. :-)

What fun! I've never seen a cookie cutter like that. I'll have to start looking for old cookie cutters in the antique/junk stores. Good find.

You will be able to make a darling quilt from the cut outs.
