Studio Spirit Doll - The Reveal


double click photos to super-size


She's finished!!!

Photo above taken in my design studio,
amidst the messy cutting-work-in-progress for
 Jubilation (zig zag design)
and
Party Hat Optional (Toran design).



Here's a back view ~
taken with her standing on my ironing table.

(Left:  Lynne's Letters from Home;
Right:  My grandmother's quilt)



Her long flowing hair was created
using masses of colorful threads
Chris saved from countless quilts
she and Iris have quilted.

The curlicue ribbon barrettes
came from Hobby Lobby.




She posed with my box of strings . . .



. . . and lifted her made-fabric skirt to show off
her purple shoes and silk sari ribbon socks.




You can see lots of other fun poses,
peeks into what else is happening in the studio.
and

Eventually, her name will make itself known to me.

For now, she is simply my wonderful quilty guardian angel.

She's fine! And I love it that -- like Amish dolls -- she has no facial features!
