Dollshouse Embroidery Kits
Customers' Gallery
|
This section features some of my dollshouse needlepoint kit designs in their final homes - be it a doll's house, twelfth scale room setting, or displayed as a mini work of art in its
own right! It's always a real pleasure to see how the finished embroidery kits turn out - you are all a really talented bunch, and the creative ways that you think up to display the stitching in
always impresses me. I love seeing other people's doll's house interiors, so, if you have stitched one of our miniature embroidery kits, and would like to see it featured on this page so that other
miniaturists can appreciate your creative work, either mail a picture as an attachment (.jpg or.gif)) to , or post a 'real' photo to Janet Granger, Rose Cottage, Leek Road, Waterhouses, Staffordshire, ST10 3JS.

| 1. | Caroline's Dolls House | Caroline Webb, from Thorpe Bay, in Essex, sent in pictures of her beautiful dolls house, with lots of miniature needlepoint items which her mother-in-law has stitched for her. Lucky Caroline! |
| 2. | Moyra's 'Work in progress' | Moyra Black, from Chelmsford, thought we might like to see the results of her stitching. (Of course !) So far, she has stitched items for two of the rooms in her dollshouse, both in Victorian style. |
| 3. | Maureen and Barbara | These sisters-in-law have identical houses, but their own tastes in furnishings. A really unusual way of sharing the dollshouse hobby... |
| 4. | Lissie-Daisy's 4-poster bed | Lissie-Daisy Hogg mounted a doll's house wallhanging inside a four-poster bed, to show how thinking creatively can expand the uses for a doll's house embroidery kit. |
| 5. | Arlene's House | Arlene, from California, showed us how she adapted two designs from Janet's book 'Miniature Needlepoint Carpets', to make her own dollhouse special. |
| 6. | Betty's Wallhanging | Betty Layton, who is in her 80's and lives in Stourport, Worcestershire, sent a photo of her 'Cluny Women' Tudor miniature embroidered wallhanging. |
| 7. | Anna-Carin's Carpet | Anna-Carin Betzen lives in Sweden. She wrote to us and enclosed this picture of her beautifully stitched, tiny version of the "Rosanna" Georgian carpet - worked on 48-count silk gauze! |
| 8. | Pat's House | Pat Barker, who lives in Hertfordshire, UK, wrote to us, sending photos of three of her mini stitching projects - one photo shows a mini drawing-room decorated in shades of pale blue, and the other two photos showcase Cluny tapestries - the 'Cluny Merchant' and 'Cluny Women'. |
| 9. | Veronica's House | Veronica Pickup's Georgian house was featured in Dolls House World, Issue 92, May 2000. Here we highlight her use of our doll's house embroidery designs, slightly adapted in terms of colours, to suit her elegant decor. |
| 10. | Heide's House | Heide Kleinwaechter lives in Germany. She visited our stand at a show and promised some photos - then one day the postman brought us some pictures of her stunning, huge dollshouse... |
