Apartment #6 - Granny's Sewing Aptmt - The sewing area

Hello my fellow bloggers!

How have you been?

 

I still hurt

very badly from the passing of my

daughter Pepper. I cry a lot and I

guess it will take me a while to get

over the crying spells. Anyone that

has lost a daughter knows how bad

this feels. 

I cry as I write this posting, but I

feel that I need to keep busy. So I

do so with a heavy heart. 

 

This is also another piece of the middle

of the apartment. This little miniature chair

is a peach color. Granny's generally do

not have anything that match, so I thought

it was fitting to put this chair in here.

It is made of resin, I think? Anyway it fits

perfectly in this space.

Raine and Willits Designs made lots of 

different kinds of these chairs. So many

of them are just beautiful! If you see them,

buy them and use them! They fit in well

with dollhouse miniatures.

Ooo, I finally got a very nice picture!

This is a corner chair. However it only

seats one doll.

This round table will set in front of the

corner chair. The skirts are in pinks.

The top of the table holds granny's post cards

and letters that were sent to her by her husband

whenever he went out of town. Now, she keeps

them on this table forever because she misses

him so much!!

She often reads them and cries when she is

alone.

This is where the corner chair and the table

will be placed at.

chair!

This pink chair belonged to a sofa and another

chair. This was the only pic that I could find

of this chair, so here it is.

This is a little mini quilt that I started stitching

quite a while ago. Not knowing where I would

put it. Am so glad that it has found a home now.

Another quilt the same as this was hand stitched

by my granddaughter Elise. It is special to

me. But sometimes I have to make 2 of the same

thing!

I also hand stitched half of this quilt so I could

put it in a frame. 

For the quilting hoop, I used one of those

cross stitch KITS with the little hoop. They

come in colors of white and red. Perhaps you

have seen them, if not let me know and I

will post a pic of the little kits. 

The little white hoop is about 2 inches

around in diameter. Just the perfect size

to place on the quilt.

The hoop IS NOT GLUED to the quilt.

This is the cardboard that is included

with the hoop in the cross stitch kit. I

sewed it thru the backing of the fabric 

to the top of the quilt. Those stitches in

the front of the quilt are hid by the 

hoop.

I was hoping that this would stay,

but it would not. In order to keep the

hoop on I had to stitch the hoop to the

quilt going from the front to the back

of the quilt and back again to the front.

Then pull each large stitch tight and

knot on the backside.

After I stitched the hoop on, I positioned

the quilt like I wanted in the chair.

I pinned the quilt to the chair in many

areas from underneath the quilt.

The sewing basket IS NOT GLUED

to the quilt.

I was hoping that you could see some of

the stitches on the quilt.

A little view from the side.

The quilt is pinned to the back of the chair.

Am glad that you cannot see any pins.

Everyone has seen one of these. Well, this one

is a little broke at the top. Blame it on the MOVERS!

I like the door that opens. Do

not like the pendulums though.

This is where the grandfathers clock

will call home.

A better view of the sewing basket.

I love sewing baskets! I bought this

basket a few years ago. I cannot remember

who I bought it from.

A look at what this section looks like.

This is so cute!
I love sewing baskets!

A side view.

Oh my, is it getting late?

Here is the sewing table.

Each shelf holds a package of real batting.

Each size batting is about an 8x8 inches. So

if I wanted to use it, I could. For the label,

I saved a picture and then printed it out.

All I did was wrap it around the batting. It

stays pretty good without glue. A little

yellow and black measuring tape is curled

up and sets on the top shelf beside batting.

The second shelf holds a little pincushion doll. I 

had completely forgot about her because I have had

her for a long time. She doesn't even have any pins

in her.

Below the sewing machine are 2 shelves. The bottom

shelf holds miniature quilt fabrics. They are not

glued in, they are simply folded and placed there

side by side. Each miniature quilt is about 7x7 inches.

On the top shelf there are some fabrics and a green

cutting mat.

I cut the little blocks from miniature fabric. They

are little log cabin blocks.

The sewing machine sets on top with thread on it.

The quilt is faux and is the perfect size!

Threads set behind the sewing machine.

I think this sewing basket is made of cream cross stitch

fabric. I have had this one also for many years.

Just a side view of the basket.

Looking in one of the sewing baskets.

This is the home of the sewing area. The sewing

basket sets on a green chair that used to be

white.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this segment of

the apartment.

The last and final segment of Granny's apartment

will be posted in about 2 weeks. 

I hope you enjoyed viewing this segment.

Please be safe.
