    I make dolls and stuffed toys using quilting cottons. Sometimes a stuffed toy looks so much more cute if you use a really bright cotton print instead of standard "stuffed toy" fabrics like faux fur, fleece, or wool felt.

    I make a lot of cat toys, too, by fussy cutting cute images from fabrics. My cat nephew Lowell is so spoiled from all the toys I've made him. (I make cat toys for gifts, too).
