Many of you have seen the unfinished version of her in my profile picture, but I have never published the whole doll on my blog. About a year ago, I packed her up safe and sound, labeled her, and sent her off on an adventure to Art Doll Quarterly. Each month I hoped to see her on the pages, but alas, I will not.
I thought I would be a teeny bit sad if "the quilter" wasn't published, but surprisingly, I'm not at all. I was so overjoyed to see her again after all this time, and she was even more adorable than I remembered. She got a happy welcome home, photographed by me, and happily placed on the mantle to enjoy.
Maybe later she'll share stories of her journey to California with me.
So, here she is, my little girl, my quilter, my little love.

| Her quilt measures 8 1/2 in x 5 1/2, with 3 inch star blocks |
I am so excited to share her with all of you. xo

She is beautiful! Love how you put her together and that little quilt is adorable! Wish she would have made ADQ though.
Oh she is so darling! I have wondered about the story behind your profile picture! I'll bet she DOES have quite the tale to tell too! what an adventure! I'm glad she's back home safe and sound too!!!
A shame she didn't get her 15 mins of fame in California but at least we get to admire her now:)
She is absolutely gorgeous, Katie. Love the little quilt. Glad she is home safe and sound. xoDonna
Oh, she's so pretty! You've lit her here better than your profile pic, too (she looks younger!)It must be great to have her back & she'll get more fame on these pages ;)
I adore her! And she was gone a whole year? You were brave to let her go away for so long. I am glad she made it home safe and sound. What a beautiful creation.
she is as adorable as you are Katie..xx
LOVE HER! You are such a talent Katie. You inspire me. Hugs!
She is adorable and her mini quilt is quite something. Well, next time Katie, next time! Glad you put her out there. We all love her and YOU! xox Corrine
I LOVE HER!! I love quilting as well! :) I need one! How did you make her?
She is so wonderful! It was fun to see her extensively, instead of just the little square filled with her beautiful face.
Glad she made it back safe. She is lovely.
I like your doll and postcards but my fav is those cocoons..I do hope you have submitted them as they are marvellous
Welcome home, little quilter! I bet she's as happy to be home as you are to welcome her :o)
Awwww...so nice to be reunited with your little quilter love! She's stunning. :)
