I have just finished making a full size quilt...................sort of

I stepped away from my cross stitch to make

a patchwork quilt.........

which only took a couple of days of my time.

The quilt is full size............if you are only 7" tall that is.

It has 100 little patchwork squares and it measures 

7 1/2" X 71/2"

It does have batting in between and was hand stitched

and hand quilted........by me.

I chose this lovely floral print for the back

The reason for a quilt so small??  you might ask?

Because earlier, I made a very tiny bed, 

a very tiny mattress, 

a tiny fitted sheet, 

along with a tiny flat top sheet. 

And it all fits perfectly together!  

Since the sheets were in yellow, 

I chose the yellow prints for the quilt. 

I also made a matching pillow. 

Now ......a pretty bed with all of the pretty linens. 

but............why such a tiny bed??

I wanted to start making doll boxes......just a bit  

like the old antique doll boxes of long ago.

And I also wanted to find a unique way to sell

the vintage dolls I have in a  trunk in my 

vintage shop.  

I have accumulated  a few of the pretty boxes from the 

craft stores that have hinges and latches on them

Now I can put the doll in the box and fix the box 

up with a bed,  doll clothes and a few accessories.

I think this might entice someone to buy the dolls and 

give them another life of play. 

On this doll, I still need to make her a wardrobe and 

put a few more details into her box.

I enjoy working with miniatures like this

I still have a doll house that needs my attention.

But........I am still working on my cross stitch 

on separate days.

Tell me.........with cold winter moving in.....

what are you creating?

I would love to hear!
