    Description

    Create an entire doll neighborhood and quilt collection from just one book! Introducing eight Yo-Yo dolls and their quilts-easy enough for a beginning quilter and creative enough for an experienced quilter or crafter to enjoy making. The easy-to-construct, strong inner foundations keep the dolls stable and secure. Each doll has its own unique style and attitude. Use the fabrics pictured or have fun personalizing your dolls with your own fabrics, yarns, buttons, beads, and accessories. These dolls give you the opportunity to shop for all the things you like to shop for! The complementary little quilts can be completed in a few hours with fabrics left over from assembling the dolls. The techniques used to create the unique little quilts and their tiny labels can be used as doll quilts or in bigger projects.

    Yo-Yo Dolls and Doll Quilts - 05/14/2010
    Reviewer: Barbara Polston from Phoenix, AZ, USA

    Every child needs their own Yo-Yo Doll! These dolls are advanced from the "string yo-yos together to create the arms and legs" kind. Patterns are provided to create a solid base that is then encased in yo-yos, offering a sturdier creation that will stand up to lots of love. It's wonderful that author Bobbie McClure Long has offered patterns for boy dolls as well...little boys need special friends too! Also included are patterns for a dog and a cat, perhaps to mimic the family pet. As if that wasn't enough, each doll gets their own miniature quilt pattern. Make these for your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews...or consider a charity project for the children in your local crisis nursery or homeless shelter.
