Final Babushka doorstop

Here she is:

The regal purple and the homespun check make an interesting contrast.  Right now I am longing to make an entire family of these dollies, perhaps for some little girl to play with.  If I manage it, I'll let you know!
Next on my list, however, is a wonderful set of owl doorstops from Inspiration Mutz.  I'm looking forward to playing with those.

I might be getting carried away with the naming here, but humour me!  This Russian Doll doorstop, in yellow and gold, looks so cheerful, don't you think?

Dolly doorstop number three

Here is my third project.  I think this lady looks rather elegant.  I've mentally named her "Granny Green" - not sure why but she reminds me of a little old lady.

Bunny doorstop

This little chap is my favourite one from Wee Folk Art.

I love the slightly startled look on his face!

Blue Baboushka

Another version of the lovely Inspiration Mutz applique.  Of course, I used denim as the base fabric for this, and the back is entirely denim.  I stuffed them with sawdust - obtained for free from a local sawmill.  It was a messy process, but the sawdust works well.

Dog doorstops

There's been a bit of a doorstop theme going on this month.  This is partly because I managed to get hold of sawdust to fill them - the animal varieties were cut out for me at my cutting party last year, and have been sewn up for some months.

This lovely dog is from Wee Folk Art, and is one of their free patterns.  I love him - though not as much as I love the rabbit.  Sadly I seem to have had something of a disaster with the cats, and am not at all sure I am going to post them.  :-(

Russian doll doorstop

The doorstops I made last year sold well, so this year I have broadened my range a little.  This beautiful design is largely made on my embroidery machine.  The pattern comes from Inspiration Mutz.  I made a few amendments with the applique, but am pleased with the result.  Choosing fabrics to use was great fun too.  I've made a few in the door stop size; there is a larger version as well which I may make, and a smaller one.

Animal doorstops

I love these!  The patterns come from Wee Folk Art, and are free on their website.  I have previously made the owl version - which I have not yet completed this time round!  I have more of the cat, dog and rabbit waiting to be finished off - waiting for me to buy some more rice, or find a supply of sawdust!  In the meantime, these are my first completed versions:

The rabbit is definitely my favourite so far.
