… Nancy Wiley, an accomplished artist and celebrated doll maker. Her exhibits are prestigious and her clients are celebrity collectors such as novelist Anne Rice, actors Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta and actress Demi Moore. In 1996, Moore tapped Wiley for a high profile assignment to costume her as a doll for the cover of George magazine.
Nancy was one of the featured artists in the original Where Women Create and I am on my way to her new studio in upstate New York in November to photograph all that she is and all that she does for the magazine. I love the doll makers almost more than anyone.
What they create is magical and it is so “forever”! We begin our passion for dolls when we are young and it continues until we are much much older … at which time we give those collected memories to our daughters and our granddaughters in hopes that they will love our dolls as much as we did.

2.) You will sew each row one at a time.
3.) When all the rows are completed, sew them together. Be careful when matching up the corners.
4.) Baste your quilt. I personally like to spray & pin baste.
5.) I did a double echo quilting on the diamonds. I love how it makes them super puffy!
Here is a view of the quilting from the back.
6.Bind as desired. When I sew baby and children quilts that I know will get a lot of heavy use, I bind with my sewing machine.
