Antique Doll Dressing, Art Quilting, Thread Painting and Temari I am fascinated by learning and implementing sewing techniques. Art quilting and temari were passions of mine and I taught art quilt techniques, machine applique, free motion embroidery, thread-painting, sheers and netting, bobbin work, and more. I have returned to my old love of doll dressing. To dress a doll to her best is a great joy for me. I dress antique dolls in haute couture style using sewing techniques of the 1800's. I'm selling some of my creations through eBay. Please view my eBay listings. Feedback: I look forward to your comments on my quilts and website. Below is my gallery of art quilts and I hope to add a gallery of doll dresses soon.
