A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Oh my gosh – I love that pink hair! They are all so cute 🙂
The Hair…the hair…it is perfect. I love the bun on the top but the chartreuse on the right is fabulous. The the rust braids rock. Love them all.

I LOVE the blue hair! If only mine could do that! They are all amazing!
Ack – those girls are FABULOUS. And yes, that hair. How do you do it?
They’ve also all got really nice hair! 🙂
I think fuchsia is my favourite out of the bunch.
It is SO amazing what you can do with yarn hair. I wish you were my personal hairdresser.
the hairdos are spectacular — especially the blond (green?) one. did you stitch that to her head to get that pattern? so fabulous!
that pink one with the bun on top is so cute!
happy sunny day!
both pink hairs!
The hair on all of them is so fantastic. Lovely, lovely work!
I absolutely adore the pink hair! Great work!
These are gorgeous. How do you do the chartreuse hair?? Fabulous!
I love the one with the beautiful blue hair! the pink is great too, though!
So freakin’ cute! I don’t know how you do it, but I just want to gaze at the yarn hair all afternoon!
Too wonderful for words. 🙂
I love your dolls. They are fabulous.
I love the one with the bun. Gosh, I never get over how completely precious your dolls are!
You have SUCH a talent with color – you always pair colors so beautifully!
Great chemistry …… AND they’re all have a ‘great hair day’!! It doesn’t get any better than that :o).

Joy :o)
These are just so gorgeous all together I would never want to separate them! I love the magenta one – you have definitely inspired me to actually try yarn hair in the near future, rather than just think about it:)
Those girls could not be any more fabulous!!! The best May pole troupe ever! I hear there will be more sun tomorrow – Yahoo!
Those hairdos are fan-über-tastic.
Oh gad, these are FANTASTIC. I want them all but especially the girl with the pink bun. So great!
Oh, the hair! I love them!
Are any of these girls going to be for sale? I love them so.

Ooooh so cute! I couldn’t dare pick a favorite, they are all great. I can’t imagine how many hours went into all those hairstyles. They are a treasure. Please don’t sell them. They need to be saved for you children and grandchildren. They are truly priceless.
I love the colors of fabric on their bodys! Where’d you get it?
They definitely have awesome hair
Will you be selling the pattern for these girls soon? I hope so!!!
Fantastic! I love them! You do such wonderful work.
Oooh, that bit pink top-knot is sweet!
I’m in love!
My daughter just walked by and said “oooh! it’s like duck, duck goose!”
It makes me want to get sewing…. I think I need to buy the patterns for Kit, Chloe and Louise.
Wow, are you gifted with hairstyling or what?
Miss Chartreuse looks like she would be a perfect house guest. I only worry that her hair may fall out of place with all the dancing. Hopefully there will be an emergency hairdresser standing by?

I would love to see close-ups of those hairstyles! Such beautiful dolls.
I really do just adore your dolls. You are so talented.
Oh my goodness, that dolly with the pink bun is so beautiful! Okay, they are all beautiful, I’m just sayin’
What an awesome circle of friends! So precious.
I agree!
You should do a special Yarn Hair tutorial for all these different hairdos… Betcha lots of crafters would LOVE that! I know I would….
The chartreuse hair is so great! Is it possible to be jealous of a doll whose yarn hair is cooler than my real hair?!
I LOVE,LOVE, absolutely LOOOOOVE these!! Your work is wonderful as usual. Their hair is so cute. This picture made my day! 🙂
