Sometimes one has that one quilt that is just so special but so ragged it just can't be used as bedding but you don't want to give it away or discard it. That's the story behind these Santa dolls made from old quilts like this Flower Garden Cutter quilt santa doll.

Santa's face is made out of brand new cotton muslin with a muslin beard, as are his arms and legs. His hat and gown are made out of a salvaged old Flower Garden patchwork quilt that was falling apart so the good parts were salvaged.

The nose is a wood dowel covered in fabric, which doesn't sound very charming but it is once you see it finished and on the doll face.

This Santa is ready to sit on a mantle or under a Christmas tree!

Since these are made from old quilt remnants, each Santa doll is unique.

To make it easier for Santa doll to be incorporated into your home decor, each Santa doll is shipped with a metal doll stand so you can pose Santa doll standing. The doll will also easily sit on packages, on a mantle, in a sleigh...

Customers who have purchased these Santa dolls have said these are "nicer than they expected them to be." Much better than being naughtier, don't you think?

There was something special about this one of a kind yellow and mint green Santa Claus handmade doll. I loved the scallop edging of his coat but it was more than that, the colors reminded me of very modern, or very old-fashioned holiday colors.

This almost 2-feet long fabric doll is made out of muslin - for his hair, beard and jacket ruffle.

Black buttons down the front compliment his black feet and legs. Want to see?

Red and White Old Quilt Santa Doll

Maybe it's because much of our Christmas decorations growing up were delicate and couldn't be played with. Or maybe it's because I have always loved cloth dolls but this one of a kind, made in USA cloth Santa Claus doll is not only charming but practical. They can easily be played with and posed without being worried something will break.

Made out of muslin and polyfill stuffing, the almost 2-feet long handmade Santa Claus doll repurposes an old red and white quilt into Santa's coat. Black buttons down the front embellish the cotton muslin ruffle.

Muslin ruffles also form Santa's beard and frame his muslin face.

Black stockings are his feet with black legs attached to a heavy body for easy posing and hugging.

No two Santa Claus dolls are alike. One of our customers said these were "so much cuter in person."

I suspect she will go on Santa's good girl list, don't you think?
