Ida welcomes Fall with her Pumpkin Harvest.Ida stands 7″ tall with a wheelbarrow made just for her.I love the Fall! The days are beautiful as everything begins to change around you. I rely on my memories of a time when I lived in the northeast. The New England States experience a wonderful transformation of color. I currently live in the dessert where there are two seasons- very hot and not too hot! I miss the crisp days and the explosion of color! Sweet and tiny, Amelia is just 7″ tall. The ruler in the photo helps put the scale of Amelia into perspective. A tiny quilt is tucked into her wagon to make a comfortable ride for her dollies. The wooden wagon was made just for Amelia. Combining my sewing and woodworking skills bring the project to life and tell Amelia’s story.I enjoyed creating these teeny tiny characters, Kyle and Max. Kyle stands at 7″ tall on a 4″ by 6″ oval wood base. The puppies are 3″ tall with tiny silver dog bone charms around their necks. I am a wood carver and I haven’t had the time to work on any wood projects lately so making the wagon was the best part for me. The challenge was creating a wagon with wheels that turned and a handle that moves side to side and up and down.Introducing three new members to the Tiny Rag Doll Collection. Laney, a 10″ rag doll angel, is made to have her legs outstretched in the sitting position. The pattern sample is made with cream and off white batik fabrics. A marbled fabric is used for the body to give an “aged” look to the doll. You can easily change the color pallet to anything you’d like.Camille and Cody are adorable in their cowboy hats and boots. The cowboy hats are readily available at craft stores. The stick horse is included in the pattern and adds to their charm.angel LaneyCamille & Cody and their Stick horseIf you sew, this is a must have in your tool basket. I have tried many fabric pens and markers. If you are familiar with my patterns then you know I use the trace-sew-cut technique very often. I prefer mechanical pencils with fine lead because they produce a fine line that is easy to sew on. When you are working on dark fabrics a pencil line is difficult to see. Fons & Porter has a mechanical pencil with 0.9mm white pencil lead that is very visible on dark fabrics. It creates that fine line that I love so much and can be removed easily with the eraser or a damp cloth. You have to try this pencil!I will be teaching a class at Fiddlesticks on Friday April 27th from 10 to 4.The project will be Nelly and Nyles from the Tiny Rag Doll Collection.This project is enjoyable for all skill levels.To sign up, stop by the shop at1229 Arizona Street, Boulder City, Nevadaor call the shop at 702-293-2979.
