these are two of the dolls, (NUMBER 101 just finished) and the girl has a quilted skirt. Seemed appropriate as the donated fabric was of the pre-print quilt looking fabric. I am happy with the way it turned out. the boy doll is number 96. The girl is a topsy turvy. Turn her inside out and she has a sleepy face and wears a nightgown. Turn the boy front to back and he wears a sleepy face as well. So far 93 dolls have found a free home with a child that has a devestating illness. Sorry I should have put this in general chit chat and I don't know how to change the classification. YIKES
Anyway I thought the doll in overalls went with the doll in the quilted skirt Hope you enjoy it.

thanks. The last 2 doll that have been sent out, went to 2 little girls that are struggling...one with chemo (age 6) from S. C. She had two brain surgeries, and had a stroke when she was only 4 and 1/2.
one from Minnisota, who MIGHT have cancer, had one brain surgery Monday, and can't have another one because of the risk. She'll be 3 in a few days.
Glad you liked the dolls.

Oh Vickie, so are wonderful. They will make those children so very happy. What a wonderful and thoughtful gift. I have tears in my eyes. Is there a pattern to make the topsy-turvey dolls? Or did you create these yourself?

I got down on the floor (soon to be 72) and used taped together wax paper at first and drew out the body, now I do a fabric body. I also designed the dress parts for the girl dolls. Thanks to so many of you out there that have sent so much fabric and trims to me, embroidery floss, etc etc. I have been able to be really lavish with the decorativeness on the dresses. I dress the boy kids in street clothes (size 12 months that i buy 'used like new' at local thrift shops..plus a young lady in her twenties took me to wal-mart and bought some clothes for the boys, material for bodies and a large bag of stuffing) With all the love out there, how can I not put it into the dolls for these sick kids. I am blessed. I am going to attach boy doll and number 102 that I just dressed. Will get busy cutting out doll bodies and some night gowns now, and then , in a couple days or so getback to the sewing machine and sew and stuff and dress more. THe new goal is 200. I wish I were rich, as I'd pay some poor person to stuff the dolls. I have empysema and that part is hard on my lungs.. Thanks so much for the caring replies. I appreciate each one of them. Thanks a million. Enjoy the boy doll.
