Another item for my dollshouse. The pen is just to show the size. There are 85292 stitches in the design. That is not counting the fringes which I embroidered seperately. This was my first attempt at digitising fringes and I had several goes at it. Not completely happy with it yet but I will hopefully improve when doing my other rugs. It is a xstitch design.

This is gorgeous - just what my doll's house needs! I made some rugs by hand (petit point) a few years ago which I was quite pleased with.

I love it. Can you make an 8'x10' ? :)

My Pfaff would take a 8"x10" but it does not like to do cross stitch. I have tried it several time but am definitely not happy with the result. I have not a clue why because it does anything else very well. I also can not share the design as I have digitised it from a book and can only use it for myself. Sorry.

You'll give the Persians a run for the money! Looks lovely. My granddad made my mom a dollhouse about 80 years ago. He wired it with lighting from a short strip of Christmas light bulbs, one per room. You switched them on with w a regular light switch in the attic (roof opened on hinges). The doorknobs are all thumbtacks. The front of the house could be lifted off once you opened the roof. It set in a track I think. The whole neighborhood contributed to her dollhouse. it was a Christmas surprise. One lady tatted a coverlet, my grandmother made mattresses and pillow with real ticking, someone made a rug. One lady cut small pretty pictures and framed them for the walls. The walls had wallpapers and windows with blackout shades halfway down to block the "sunlight." My grandfather made all the furniture except the china pieces for the bathroom, which were purchased. A real labor of love.

It took 2 and an half hours but only 6 colour changes.
That's all...hm It's still impressive. :)

Angelique, this is absolutely the most outstanding piece of embroidery I've ever seen. I cannot believe that it is so small and with all those stitches, it is a real credit to your digitising skills and patience. Can't think of any adjectives to describe this beautiful rug, just congratulations and well done. Love and blessings Chris
