Another Tiny ReproQuilt

Posted on August 20, 2019 by katyquilts

I chose another quilt from this book to replicate.

It’s about as simple as they come.

I decided to make mine smaller. I used this die from Accuquilt .

My fabrics are similar in color, but that’s about all.

I split my batting to make it thinner.

This is how it ended up after washing.

I think it will work well in the dollhouse. Have a great day!

Nadine does such nice work. Have a great day!

Winslow’s Castle

Posted on August 18, 2019 by katyquilts

My girl Winslow is as silly as they come. I have no idea what this is on her nose, but she acted all innocent like she hadn’t been into anything.

This is her crate. Pretty standard. Pretty ugly.

I saw a photo on Pinterest where someone turned theirs into an end table. I texted a pic to Mr. Wonderful one day last week. He came home with lumber and before I knew it, I had this.

I love it! Winslow prefers to sleep in our bed, but she has some pretty classy digs these days.

Have a good one!

Dollhouse Chronicles

Posted on August 17, 2019 by katyquilts

I found a tiny stove for my kitchen and I made a tiny shelf to go over the sink.

I used tiny eye bolts and turned them into hooks. I used a couple small pieces of wood to create the shelf itself.

I decided to use leftover paint from my real family room to paint these rooms.

You can see I also painted and reinstalled the stairs.

Little by little, it’s coming along!

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday – Four Poster4 Patch

Posted on August 16, 2019 by katyquilts

I finished my little quilt and it fit my little bed perfectly! I still need to make a pillow someday.

I actually added full borders and quilted this on the long arm.

Then I cut out the corners.

The binding was a bit tricky and turned out a little clunkier than I would have liked.

But it is done and I like it.

After I posted the first pictures of my bed, I received a comment from a Joyce who had received one when she was a little girl. She was kind enough to share photos with me. You can see one of the finials laying on the bed.

Isn’t this lovely? You all were right when you said I had a canopy bed!

Joyce’s sister, Susan, also received one and she sent me pictures too!

Love the bedding!

Thank you so much to Joyce and Susan for sharing your little beauties with me. Someday, I hope to fashion a canopy for mine. I think I can do it with the help of your photos.

Have a great day!

Would you?

Posted on August 15, 2019 by katyquilts

I’ve been thinking about the top I showed yesterday. There is something that bothers me, and I think I’ve identified the issue.

It’s this. These cornerstones bother me.

I’m thinking about racing them. Perhaps a solid blue?

Or yellow?

As a reminder, here is the full top.

Any ideas? Is it worth the effort of replacing these?

Have a great day!

Another New Old Top

Posted on August 14, 2019 by katyquilts

You know I can’t resist a deal! Back when I broke the stand for my hand quilting hoop, I bought a different kind that works okay, but I knew if I found a good deal on another stand like I had that I would grab it. Last week, this showed upon Facebook Marketplace. Within the hour, it was mine!
