Sarah J.'s Quilt

From Bebe: This is a piece of a quilt made by Sarah J. It is very old and precious. It is entirely stitched by hand, and is made from old clothes they used to wear. It is so old, we keep it wrapped up in an old white sheet.

Sarah J.

Peony: This is my Sarah J. Bebe says she is the practical one in the family. She says she has her two feet in the ground.

Bebe: Peony! Not IN the ground! She has her two feet ON the ground!

Peony: Okay! . . . but what exactly does that mean?

Bebe: It means she believes in keeping in touch with reality, not forgetting about what it means to live life daily, without your head in the clouds, like us! Like you must cook and clean up -- Every Day!

Peony: Like making my bed, and brushing my teeth?

Bebe: Yes, that's right. Sarah J. is a very "down to earth" woman. She lived a hard life at times. She used to can all her vegetables. Not only that, but she had a garden, a small apple orchard, and she raised chickens. She used to sell the eggs in town, when times were hard. She even midwifed a few times!

Peony: What's a midwife?

Bebe: Someone who helps bring babies into the world.

Peony: Like how you brought me into the world?

Bebe: Sort of, but not quite the same Peony!

Peony #7 "Summer Birthday"

Peony # 7 is here! She's all done.

Peony: She's my twin! (I'm Peony #3, the one you see on the web banner.) She looks a lot like me, but a little different. Her hatbox is a little different, and her crown party hat is a little different too, right, Bebe?

Bebe: Right, Peony! She has a special scalloped edge hatbox. That thing looks good enough to eat! Everything turned out so well on this special Peony!

Peony: What makes me so special anyway? (I think I know, but I'm asking anyway!)

Bebe: Well, you have several "signatures".

Peony: What's that?

Bebe: A signature is something special that is only yours. One of your signatures is your pretty little hair flower. Every Peony doll that's made has a flower in her hair. Another signature is the tag on your back. No pictures of this will be taken, as this is one of the things each new owner will take delight in looking for when she recieves her doll. You also have a belly button!!

Peony: I knew it!! That's what I thought was special about me!

Bebe: There's more - it's everything about you, how you are made, how you feel when being held. You ARE really special!!! I love you So Much!

Peony: I love you too, Bebe!

My Twin

Bebe is making me a twin - she's the doll on the left - without the tag (I'm Peony #3).  Bebe told me she couldn't bear to part with me, so she's making my twin, Peony #7, who looks a lot like me, don't you think!? I like her! That's all I have time for right now, I have to go play and eat my supper!

Where Peony's Sisters Can be Found

Some of my sisters have left the playroom! At first, I thought the dog got hold of 'em, but mom says it was time for them to grow up and leave home. I saw the outfits she was making and was wondering what all the fuss was about! Then I saw her making the trunks and knew something was up, just didn't know what. Granny Lil says not to worry, they'll find good homes. They took pictures of them for our scrapbook. Mom says there'll be more sisters coming, just a matter of time. Hey ma! How 'bout some new clothes for me?!
