I’ve been thinking about different things that I could make, embroidered pillows perhaps?  Or even an eensy weensy little yo-yo quilt – but I decided on a machine embroidered doll house carpet.

It’s a great way to use up smaller scraps of fabric or to experiment with different embroidery stitches.  I used long strips of fabric, machine embroidered onto a base of heavy-weight interfacing.  Each strip of cloth has a different color of thread (I used my fun variegated rayon flosses) and a different stitch on it. I satin-stitched around the outsides and added a fringe on the short ends.

It took me about two hours to complete – and was definitely fun to do   So for a gift for the little girl (or the young at heart) on your gift list, how about doll house accessories?
