Have you ever made a seven pointed star?
It was a first for me - I enjoyed it and I think you might too.
The original vintage quilt was found at a local antiques shop. Too sweet to pass up and not share with you.
The little bear has lost all most all of his mohair...and ears!
Shoe button eyes are a little loose.
She has lace trimmed sleeves and a plaid scarf - it is cold here.
The dolly is a printed/sewn panel, slight glaze remains - she is straw stuffed.
They love their bed, covered in bedding.
The bed headboard has the maker "Amsco"
with a decal "Doll-E-Bed"
The company made several styles of doll beds, many available online and antique shops. Just in case you want a little bed to go with a quilt you might make.
The bed is on wheels.
Maybe for doll bed races?
Ease of redecorating your room?
I keep mine in my sewing studio.
On the foot of the bed is a little one patch all hand sewn in flannel squares. The little gem is hand tied in colored pearl cotton.
There are a variety of flannels in the quilt.
Possibly left overs from previous sewing projects.
Starry Hearts has several quirky features:
 |
| French Knots embroidered at the center and tips |
 |
| A blanket piece was used as batting |
 |
| Running Stitch Applique None of the four hearts match Squares are stitched on top of the background fabric |
 |
| The backing is folded to the front to create the "binding" Mitered corners |
Enjoy!
Happy Valentines
Thank you for your support and encouragement over the many years we've been here!

Such a sweet little scene the doll bed, quilt, and furry (kind of) friends make together. That is very good of you to share the pattern with us. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little quilt. It looks as if it was loved by little people (and "gownups") over the years. You are sweet to share the pattern with everyone. Happy Valentine's Day to you.
