Would you like a free chart for a doll’s house sampler?

The Artisans in Miniature online ezine has an Advent Calendar each December, which features a free project each day, for each of the 24 days leading up to Christmas. Behind the door marked ONE is the project I submitted, for a doll’s house scale sampler, with the words ‘Home Sweet Home’ on it. The sampler, once framed, measures about one and three quarters of an inch high, by about one and a half inches wide. When stitched on 28 count evenweave with one strand of Anchor cotton, it looks like this:

My website features many other designs for samplers (as well as all kinds of mini stitching for doll’s houses), available as full kits – have a look here to see them.

The article is on pages 54 to 58. The general theme of this month’s magazine is ‘Granny’s House’, and it’s a very interesting issue, too!

Artisans in Miniature online magazine features my website this month

In the September issue of Artisans in Miniature online magazine, there’s a feature about my website for doll’s house needlepoint kits, so why not take a look here?

The article in this month's magazine

The article is called ‘New on the web’, not because my business is new – I’ve had the website since 1997 (one of the first miniaturist websites online, actually) –  but because the website has recently had a complete overhaul.

The magazine is great, and it’s FREE! This month’s issue has the theme of food and dining rooms, so it’s mouth-wateringly tempting to look through – the food looks so real, you’d think you could really eat it!
