What To Do With an Old and Tattered QUILT…?

Turn it into a doll!!  My friend, Greer, went to a craft fair and came home with a little piece of history! The crafter took old quilts and turned them into adorable dolls!

How cute is this Santa!  And look at what his suit and hat are made of…Grandma’s old quilt!

Here’s the front…I should have taken a close up of his face as he was adorable!

And here is his back!

Seriously, if you have an old frayed quilt, look for the good spots…and cut them out and revamp them into dolls!  What a treasured keepsake that would be!! AND you could even gift the rest of the family with their own dolls so that they could have a piece of Grandma’s quilt too!  BRILLIANT! 

Since I don’t have any of Grandma’s quilts hanging around, I think I’ll  be keeping my eyes open for old quilts!!  ;o)  How about YOU?  Got any old quilts kicking around?

YOWZERS!!  Only 15 DAYS till the BIG Day?  Are you ready?

Have a wicked Wednesday and happy Stitching!~P

  1. An awesome idea and it reminds me that I have something else that's great fun made of a piece of an old quilt, as well. So, thank you for a wonderful idea and a really cute creation!

  7. Home run! What a good use for the quilt piece. I could see making a block and doing something like that.
