In kindergarten my teacher organized a gift exchange for Christmas. We had to spend $1.00 for the gift. Luckily I pulled a girl's name out of the bowl of names, so I was buying for a girl. I didn't know who had my name.<br /><br />I picked out a set of paper dolls. It was 99 cents, but it was a good set. The dolls weren't printed in a book, but they were in a box. That meant the doll was a more rigid cardboard and the dresses were thinner paper. It was much better than dolls cut out of books.<br /><br />I was so disappointed when all I got for my gift was a pair of navy blue gloves. I cried on the bus on the way home, wanting the paper dolls I'd given instead.<br /><br />Now some of those same patterns are available online. <a href="http://www.treasuresforlittlechildren.com/sunbonnet.htm">Here is a link to a great set of patterns of Sunbonnet Sue paper dolls</a>... I see an appliqued paper doll quilt.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_MQo9ot2QrPo/SCuPbQaxUBI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/5l4UTR3fc2g/s1600-h/sunbonnet2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200407893155860498" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_MQo9ot2QrPo/SCuPbQaxUBI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/5l4UTR3fc2g/s400/sunbonnet2.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p align="center">Image from <a href="http://www.treasuresforlittlechildren.com/sunbonnet.htm"></a><a href="http://www.treasuresforlittlechildren.com/sunbonnet.htm"></a><a href="http://www.treasuresforlittlechildren.com/">http://www.treasuresforlittlechildren.com/</a><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lots of fun... lots of memories.SunbonnetSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14568697221539982873noreply@blogger.com
