Here are a couple of Christmas gift ideas you may not have considered…

A teenage girl displays a handmade rail fence doll-sized quilt in pink, burgundy, and off-white. To her left is an American Girl Kaya doll, and to her right is an 18-inch platinum blonde Madame Alexander doll. Each doll is dressed in flannel nightgowns with bunny slippers, perfectly matching the quilt's size. The scene is set in a pink-themed girl's bedroom, with the chellywood.com logo visible in one corner.

It might look like AI made the image above, but actually, I used my Canva account to put together that image, in the form of a digital collage. However the quilt is another story.

It’s entirely made by hand, with careful hand stitching, by my mother-in-law, Anita. At 18 by 22 inches, this rail fence style doll quilt is the perfect size for 18 inch dolls like Journey Girls, American Girl, and Our Generation dolls.

It’s for sale in my Etsy store, and from now through November 19th, I’ve brought the price down from $40.00 to $35.20 plus shipping.

In a close-up photo, you can easily see the tiny hand stitching between the strips of vintage fabrics used for Anita's rail fence quilt. The prints include a floral (probably from the 1980's), a repeating pattern of tiny pink hearts (likely from the 1970's), solid pink, and mottled burgundy fabrics.

I’m sure some of you do quilt, but if you don’t quilt, and you happen to have a daughter or granddaughter who needs a little quilt for her 18 inch doll, this delicately hand stitched quilt would be a fantastic Christmas gift!

And remember, I have a nightgown pattern for 18 inch dolls on my site. Click here for that free pattern.

This quilt would go great with a pink flannel nightgown or a pretty burgundy colored nightgown made of silky polyester.

In front of a green garden, a lovely pink and burgundy and cream colored mini quilt rests across the back of a white park bench. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner.

Another thing to think about as the holidays approach is this: what will your family give to you? My “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” course and my “Design Your Own Doll Pants Patterns from Scratch” classes on the C&T Publishing online learning platform are a great gift to ask for. Here’s my bio page on the C&T publishing website, where you can learn more.

This image shows four rows of artist's renderings of doll clothing items. The top row shows four different styles of pants. The second row shows four different styles of shirts. The third row shows four different styles of skirts. The fourth row shows four different styles of dresses, with skirts in long, short, and mid-length styles. The text reads at the top, "Classes in Doll Clothing Design" followed by this paragraph: "Have you ever wished you could create patterns of your own?
