Gillian’s Doll's House

At St Mark’s Quilters we’re always interested in seeing the other projects everyone’s working on when they’re not making beautiful Blankets of Love. Last week Gillian brought along a cute little embroidered wall-hanging she made for her granddaughter, Brooke.

To me, the most intriguing part was seeing the pigtails, bunches, plaits and curly hair in 3 dimension on those figures.

However it was this finished piece that had us all enthralled.

Here it is open, showing the bedroom.

And here folded flat for packing and taking.

The bathroom, complete with mirror. Look at those tiny bead “bubbles” floating over the bath.

The kitchen, complete with clock on the wall.
This little doll’s house appealed to the “little girl” in all of us.

    That little house is very cute! I'm wondering if it a pattern by a NZ quilter.

    The quilt and the doll's house are beautiful! Do you know where to get the pattern for the doll's house?

    Wow - the doll house is truly amazing. But since I'm an embroidery lover the small quilt really caught my eye. You've got some really talented quilters! blessings, marlene

    Love the fold-up doll house. Is it a commercial pattern?

    This is so cute! Is it stable when opened? If so, how can I make it stable too? I am afraid of the walls falling apart!

    I made this for my granddaughter. It is Pippa's house. I made Pippa to go with it but changed the hair to suit. There is also a quilt which I made in the same fabrics
