Dollshouse Embroidery Kits

This section features some
of my dollshouse needlepoint kit designs in their
final homes - be it a doll's house, twelfth scale room
setting, or displayed as a mini work of art in
its own right! It's always a real pleasure to see how
the finished embroidery kits turn out - you are all
a really talented bunch, and the creative ways that
you think up to display the stitching in always
impresses me. I love seeing other people's doll's house
interiors, so, if you have stitched one of our miniature
embroidery kits, and would like to see it featured on
this page so that other miniaturists can appreciate
your creative work, either mail a picture as an attachment (.jpg or.gif))
to mail@janetgranger.co.uk
, or post a 'real' photo to Janet Granger, Rose
Cottage, Leek Road, Waterhouses, Staffordshire, ST10
3JS.

These
