In Love with Lilacs

I love lilacs.  Lilac was one of my grandmother’s favorite colors and lilacs remind me of my grandfather.  My daughter was born when lilacs were in bloom and I chose The Lilac Studio as my company name when I was designing cross stitch pattern in the 1990’s.  I think Amelia Thimble loves lilac too.  She sure looks cute in this color.  I knit this teeny tiny dress for Amelia Thimble with lilac bamboo thread.  I chose a colorful palette for the floral embroidery to make a cheery summery dress.Image

A Summer Short Set for Effner’s Little Darling Dolls

This set for the Little Darlings reminds me of the little short sets I used to wear when I was young.  I loved how cute they were and how the top and the shorts coordinated so well together.  Gina, my Little Darling, is dressed so smartly in her very own bloomers and top set with hand embroidery, headband, and jewelry.  This outfit is available on my website.  I also have more photos there too, with additional information about “Splendid Summer”.
