If Mary and Joseph had been Amish . . . ! Create a nativity like no other. These charming peasant dolls stand quietly over the manger, cradling a child covered with-of course!-a traditional Amish quilt. The book offers clear, ready-to-use patterns for making the Holy Family (and their simple clothing), the attending shepherds and the curious animals-all of fabric. It also includes templates and instructions for making a miniature Amish quilt. The dolls are fashioned without faces, in keeping with the Amish tradition of humility. But their quiet presence is unmistakably peaceful-an unusually wonderful addition to Christmas celebrating.
