Dolls

As a young child, I loved to play with dolls. In fact, I learned to sew and knit by making doll clothes. It kept me busy for hours and hours. I'm sure my mother appreciated that! One fall I entered one of my dolls in the annual acricultural and craft fair. The baby doll was dressed in a white christening dress and matching cap and booties. It was my own design and stitched by hand. I won first place! I still have that doll.
Since summer vacation is almost here, I thought that some of you have young girls in your life who might like to try something new. Or you might like to make something for a child or grandchild.
Here's a few patterns of dolls and other stuff:

• Peaches Ballerina Angel 
• Making a Rag Doll
• Scrappy Triangles Doll Quilt
• Easy Strip Doll Quilt  -  This is a simple pattern that a child could make.
