Our cloth doll challenge theme this year was 'Gift Giver'. Please vote for your favorite doll in the poll on the right sidebar! At our
10th Annual Show and Sale next month, we will announce the winner as part of our People's Choice Award.
We had six finished dolls at our October meeting. Our first, very colorful doll is made from the
Cindee Moyer pattern 'Weighing the Possibilities'. You may notice that her name spells Mother Nature backwards. Her gifts include sunshine, rainbows, and clear stargazing nights as well as wind, rain, and storms.

Our next fellow is made from
Ute Vasina's 'Norman' pattern. He is the main character in the Roald Dahl story, The BFG. Instead of eating children like the other giants, he gives them the good dreams he has collected.

The third doll is from a
Patti Culea pattern, 'Very Merry Santa Claus'. He is a portrayal of the Russian Father Frost. He delivers presents in person every New Year.

Next is a lovely version of
Stephanie Novatski's pattern, 'One Kiss is Not Enough', with original costume designs. Our princess has learned to overcome selfishness by giving love to others.

Ute is a favorite designer, so it's no surprise to find two of her designs in our challenge. This one started as her 'Kitchen Witch' pattern, found in the July 2003 issue of Soft Dolls and Animals. Befana is the old Italian woman who delivers presents for children on Epiphany Eve, as she flies over rooftops searching for the Christ Child.

Lastly, we have an original design. This kind lady gives smiles to passers-by, and if you're lucky, a piece of candy from her beaded handbag. Please check out the fancy Victorian parasol!
