Dollhouses, totes and fuzzy wuzzies

I think this wraps up the blogging on dollhouses. It's about time I finish them, and I have enough to last us a lifetime. I tried a few different things here. I like the idea of using one fabric on the outside, with the nice bright red inside, like a little present when you open it up. There isn't anything to show the scale of it, but the purple dollhouse is about 3 times the size of any of the others. It's the mack-daddy dollhouse. Enough about dollhouses, they've had their 5 minutes of fame in my book :)




Here's an art blanket I started awhile back and took out again recently to look at. I didn't use a walking foot while sewing it, so it got a little bunchy. But I love the idea of free-handing a quilt. I'd like to go back and add more detail... maybe a zipper. I am getting ready to add a border. Will share the progress, if it ever happens. By the way, this quilt depicts the iconic Louis Vuitton Speedy bag.



Here are the little guys who keep me company while I sew. Hi Blue Doggies!! Hi Blue Hippo!!! See you soon!
