The Patchwork Girl of Oz The Patchwork Girl of Oz 24 November 1997
In _Patchwork Girl_ these familiar fairy-tale motifs become enigmatic: the blue light appears before the travelers but continually recedes before them and may or may not lead them to the cottage, and the magically set table provides no real sustenance (Ojo is as hungry after the meal as he was before).
If memory serves, Topsy *was* about the age of the American girls in Oz in the novel (around 9-11 during the course of her involvement in Uncle Tom's life), but onstage I think she was often played by older actresses.

 The Patchwork Girl of Oz, L. Frank Baum - Section 3 of 28 - Book Club/Fiction - ArcaMax Publishing
The Patchwork Girl was taller than he, when she stood upright, and her body was plump and rounded because it had been so neatly stuffed with cotton.
Margolotte had first made the girl's form from the patchwork quilt and then she had dressed it with a patchwork skirt and an apron with pockets in it-- using the same gay material throughout.
There were almost too many patches on the face of the girl for her to be considered strictly beautiful, for one cheek was yellow and the other red, her chin blue, her forehead purple and the center, where her nose had been formed and padded, a bright yellow.

It has a patchwork girl who was brought to life with the powder of life.
Explaining to readers that he had begun receiving new tales from the Shaggy Man via a wireless telegraph in Oz, the fruit of this partnership was The Patchwork Girl Of Oz, probably the general favorite of Baum's novels among dedicated Oz enthusiasts.
The Patchwork Girl Of Oz is almost free of the occasionally unsettling, cruel, or bizarre elements that Baum unconsciously allowed to mar his books; there is a brief explanation of how "meat" beings, if chopped into pieces, would continue to live, if not thrive, in their newly minced state.

Here, the Patchwork Girl is brought to life by Dr. Pipt's magic Powder of Life.
In addition to the Patchwork Girl, Ojo and Unk Nunkie, this book introduces those famous Oz creatures, the Woozy, and Bungle the glass cat.
Oz certainly has become a merrier, happier land since the Patchwork Girl came to life, and this is the book that tells how Scraps came to be made, how she was brought to life, and all about her early adventures.

 Scraps, The Patchwork Girl of Oz
A girl made by Margolotte out of a patchwork quilt and bits and pieces of material, and brought to life by Dr. Pipt using his magical Powder of Life.
She has a patchwork skirt and apron, red leather shoes, carefully formed fingers and thumbs with small gold plates for fingernails, and is stuffed throughout with cotton.
Her mouth is shaped with two rows of pearls sewn in for teeth and a tongue of scarlet plush, but it is closed in the back and thus does not connect to anything in her stuffed cotton insides.

Forced out of their dark forest, two Oz characters embark on the search for magic ingredients which will change their lives, and encounter Dorothy and her cohorts and a spirited Patchwork Girl who travels in order to see the world.
The Patchwork Girl of Oz is one of the most interesting and memorable of the books in the Oz series.
I can not say enough good things about the patchwork girl since she is nice breath of fresh air in oz and her way of looking at things is quite refreshing and new to an otherwise quite stale mindset.

Oz is cut off from the rest of the continent by a vast desert on all sides, which is poisonous to living beings and can turn them to dust.
Oz is a pleasant land, with a mild, temperate climate and fertile farmlands.
Oz is a place where magic abounds, but much of that magic is either naturally occurring — so that books and sandwiches grow on trees, for instance, and the animals can talk — or is wielded by a small number of magic workers, both good and evil.

Baum did this to end the Oz series, but was forced to restart the series with this book due to financial hardships.
With the help of the patchwork girl Scraps, Bungle the Glass Cat (another of Dr. Pipt's creations), the Woozy, Dorothy, the Shaggy Man, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman, gathers all of these supplies but the left wing — the Tin Woodman won't allow any living thing to be killed, even to save another's life.
The party returns to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz (one of the few allowed to lawfully practice magic in Oz) restores Unc Nunkie and Dr. Pipt's wife.

 L. Frank Baum, Patchwork Girl of Oz
Unc Nunkie [a Munchkin in the land of Oz] knocked at the door of the house and a chubby, pleasant-faced woman [also a Munchkin], dressed all in blue, opened it and greeted the visitors with a smile.
But all Munchkins prefer blue to anything else and when my housework girl is brought to life she will find herself to be so many unpopular colors that she'll never dare be rebellious or impudent, as servants are sometimes liable to be when they are made the same way ast heir mistresses are.
Scraps was quite new and not supposed to know anything of the Land of Oz, while the Glass Cat admitted she had never wandered far away from the Magician's house.

We would take in as much air as possible and sit down on the pool floor in the shallow end (but away from the stairs where the babies in their swim diapers and moms in their modest skirted swim suits were) for as long as we could stand it.
Thus here, as Katherine Hayles argues in her discussion of Patchwork Girl, the boundaries between theory and fiction blur to depict the merging of fiction and metafiction in a narrative strategy that.
Thus the merging of fiction and metafiction in Patchwork Girl not only disturbs the serious and dignified nature of genre boundaries but also undermines the fundamental separation between fact and fiction.

Jackson’s Patchwork Girl requires her reader to listen to that silence and pay attention to the gaps by making the very nature of gaps and silences the thematic subject and central protagonist of the hypertext novel.
And because Jackson closely aligns the body of the patchwork girl with the body of the text, then the text must also silence its other selves, its relationship to texts that have come before and texts that will come after.
Yet, the silence that the patchwork girl attempts to create is always full – full of mouths shut, but with cheeks full of words that are waiting to burst out.

The head of the Patchwork Girl was the most curious part of her.
The woman had cut a slit for the Patchwork Girl's mouth and sewn two rows of white pearls in it for teeth, using a strip of scarlet plush for a tongue.
"Let's see," she remarked; "I was about to give my girl a little 'Cleverness,' which is the Doctor's substitute for 'Intelligence'--a quality he has not yet learned how to manufacture." Taking down the bottle of "Cleverness" she added some of the powder to the heap on the dish.

He reported, "There were almost too many patches on the face of the girl for her to be considered strictly beautiful, for one cheek was yellow, and the other red, her chin blue, her forehead purple, and the center, where her nose had been formed and padded, a bright yellow."
For her eyes, Baum gave his patchwork girl silver buttons from the wizard's suspenders.
In the spring of 1995, Scraps was shown in Kansas City, Missouri, as part of the Great Oz Challenge at the Quilters' Unlimited Showcase.

His hat had a peaked crown and a flat brim, and around the brim was a row of tiny golden bells that tinkled when he moved.
This was the native costume of those who inhabited the Munchkin Country of the Land of Oz, so Unc Nunkie's dress was much like that of his nephew.
There was a pretty garden around the house, where blue trees and blue flowers grew in abundance and in one place were beds of blue cabbages, blue carrots and blue lettuce, all of which were delicious to eat.

Finally, the key scene of the Patchwork Girl coming to life, and Unk Nunkie, Margolotte, and Danx turning to stone when the Liquid of Petrification falls on them is so badly damaged that I have never seen it intact in any film print or video or DVD release.
Oz fans around the world would be extremely happy if another, intact copy of the first reel was to ever turn up.
Numerous Oz references have made their way into any number of TV series, movies, and specials, and some shows have even had special Wizard of Oz episodes, such as Fame, Alf Tales, Beetlejuice (the cartoon), The Guiding Light, That 70s Show, and Life with Bonnie, to name but a few.
