But luckily for me, I was sitting working at my desk (I am currently working from home) and I looked over and saw my Mini Mansion project sitting on a shelf across the room. A partially empty shelf sat next to it (ok, it was it wasn’t really empty, but it didn’t have a lot on it) and I decided that the quilt shop had found its new home!
It’s not pretty at the moment because I have both houses turned with the fronts of the houses facing the wall...but you get the idea!
So what have I been doing? Well, after the mini crazy quilt I almost completely halted work on the dollhouse while I pieces a human sized crazy quilt. I did one that had a bit of a modern twist. It still needs quilted. But that’s on the back burner until I can hit a store and can find backing material. With things finally starting to slowly reopen, that may happen sometime soon!
I didn’t let that stop me though. I have done a few things in the world of dollhouses and particularly in the StoneHouse Quilt Shop
In the downstairs, not much has happened. I still need to make a few small things like scissors, more things for the shelves , items for the check out counter and I need to hang the quilts! (And apparently take down the tape on the over the door shelf now that the glue is dry!)
The upstairs is where I have done a fair amount of work. I built more display shelves and made a ton of bolts of fabric...and a ton of ‘fat quarters’ for the display! I think that I am done with furniture. I don’t think I will know for sure until the quilts go up on the walls. I think that the quilts will add a lot of depth and ‘coziness’ to these rooms. So that just leaves me with the little fun things to add...which I have to make of course (since this project is all about buying nothing and making it all!).
The second picture. I am so debating. I have another circular display...does that room need the second one? Or does it just overcrowd the room?
Ahh decisions decisions decisions!
The attic poses another question mark for me. Quilting room? Storage? Office? More displays? Right now it is my storage area for everything. But I’m getting to the point that I will soon have to focus on that space.
It is a slow process. But I am thoroughly enjoying creating the StoneHouse quilt shop! My mind is spinning with ideas for this project AND the next project! Soo much to do...so little time!!!
