Sewing for Hitty


For a change of pace from sewing quilts, I have been making wee clothes for 6 1/4 inch Hittys. Talk about immediate gratification, it hardly takes any time at all to finish a doll dress. Here is a photo of dresses I sent to my friend, Joann, who lives in Illinois. The Hitty in the red dress is my Hitty Elizabeth, who is visiting Joann and her "girls." It was Joann's idea for Elizabeth to come for a visit and since postage is cheaper than an airline ticket, I thought why not? Besides, Joann didn't invite me! (I would be a much more troublesome house guest and certainly would eat more than Elizabeth does, so I can understand her preference for Elizabeth!)
Yesterday a new challenge was posted to the Hitty group. It is to make a charm quilt from sixteen 1.5 inch squares. Julie is willing to send out squares to those who don't have fabric lying around...like I do. I decided to make one. Here is Hitty Emma sewing the quilt.
And here is the finished quilt!

Nice job! I have a doll house that I almost finished and then gave it to my duaghter...but, hmmm...seeing your work I might just have to make some house warming gifts for her.

Be careful, you might get hooked on minis! ;-)
