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 design that image. However the quilt is another story.

The thumbnail features a Kaya doll from the American Girl collection, dressed in a handmade ensemble of white underpants and a pink crop top. The underpants, or panties, are displayed from both the front and the back. Notably, a delicate lace ruffle adorns the back of these panties, adding a charming touch. The text highlights that the sewing patterns for crafting these stylish pants are available for free at ChellyWood.com.

Inside a purple frame (with tiny white polka dots), we see an 18 inch doll (not one of the American Girls dolls but another brand) wearing a donut-shaped pillow as a Halloween costume. The words "free pattern" are at a slight angle over the top of the photo, and there's a white arrow that curls from the "free patterns" words to the pillow shape of the donut pillow worn around the doll's shoulders. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner.

This photograph of a Best Friends Club Ink doll appears to be taken indoors at an art museum. The doll stands before a modern art poster with the name "Ruth Stone" inside identical side-by-side cream-colored circles on a blue background. The doll's back is to us, so we can clearly see that her elastic shorts have one working back pocket, and her close-in-back shirt has several tiny buttons running down the back closure area of the short-sleeved shirt. The shorts outfit she models is made of mint green cotton fabric.

The image shows the 18-inch BFC Ink Kaitlin doll wearing handmade shorts with an elastic waistband and a lace-trimmed (and rick rack trimmed) short-sleeved shirt made of the same springtime yellow fabric as the shorts. She wears glittery pink high-top sneakers with the whole ensemble and her hair is pulled up in a pony tail. She's looking closely at a poster on the wall of the diorama in which she stands. The poster advertisement says "Galway Kinnel" and is a retro-style poster for a poetry reading at the University of Arizona Poetry Center. The wording slightly resembles piano keys but instead of white ivory, the lines of the keys are made of oak-like wood. The watermark on this image says you can find free doll clothes patterns and tutorials at Chelly Wood dot com.
