Samahra Receiving her Christmas Doll

1/11/2012

Here is a picture of Samahra receiving her Christmas Doll. Her parents stayed with us through Airbnb this past summer and talked about getting her a doll for Christmas. They sent me photos so that I could make a doll that resembled her and then, after the holidays, they e-mailed me a whole series of pictures showing her opening her present and receiving her doll into her loving and open arms. To read more about the whole process click through on Pattern under Categories and go to the entry that I did in December before I mailed the doll off to her new home.

The Threads of Meaning is a collection of my hand made creations and the materials I use to make them. I quilt, sew, spin, knit, crochet, weave, make dolls, rugs (hooked and braided) and tat. I have had articles in Art and Antiques (May 2001) and American Quilter (Ultimate Projects 2004). I have sold work to the State of Hawaii and some very dedicated private collectors. I dye my own fibers and use vintage and new materials. I tend to prefer traditional techniques and natural materials used in innovative ways.
