    No, I have the luck to possess a machine that doesn´t eat small pieces. But I heard this from other machines.
    All minis except the flower garden are sewn by machine.

    I play with them! I also collect model horses, and the dolls are my riders. ;)

    Greetings to your daughters! :D
    I can not show you a complete house. These are single rooms that are not connected. But I can show you the rooms:

    At least my dolls have the cool 1950s kitchen I´m dreaming about.

    This is my second hobby - the model horses, rider dolls and everything related. Luckily I can combine the two hobbies with the mini quilts. :D

    I am having a very hard time finding the words to express how I feel looking at these tiny, tiny quilts, wall hanigings etc. They brought such joy to me just looking at them. Your doll rooms are so creative and beautiful. You are very talented. Love it.

    I made a very large doll house years ago, and made everything in it that was possible. I made quilts for it too. This doll house had everything but running water. Even my kids, who are now parents of their own helped make things for it. It's to big to have in the scaled down home I have now, so it was donated to a local hosital about 10 years ago. I don't live in that area any more, so am not sure it is still there. I hope it still is, so people can enjoy it. But it was so much fun making those little quilts, hard on the hands but they were just as pretty as the big ones I make.

    Unbelievable. How wonderful they look. I couldn't see well enough to even attempt them. What great work.
