     Meet Shannon, the best handmade doll maker around! Shannon was taught to sew by both of her Grandmothers. They sewed many of her school clothes, and she credits them for all that she knows about sewing. In college, she started making quilts for her friends and family. A few years ago, her sister asked her to make a doll for her niece, and thus, her dolls and creatures were born. Both her niece and nephew love to test out her new creations!

     She says, "I absolutely love crafting each handmade item, especially putting together all of the different fabrics and colors. There are so many great fabrics and materials to create new and exciting items."

     Her most popular creation is her Miss Madi doll. This doll can be customized to look just like your very own child. She loves all of the different variations of Miss Madi.

     Shannon loves to give back to her community. She donates many quilts and baby items to pregnancy centers in and around her area. Shannon is top-notch and such a joy to work with. We love her kindness and her impeccable work. See all of Shannon's work in the Featured Section on our site!
