Vintage Baby Doll Beds...


I was recently gifted three 

vintage baby doll beds



This is a handmade, all wooden, doll bed 

approx 18 inches long.

The little girl who played with this 

is now in her 80's.






This is a wooden cradle 

that sits on a stand and rocks.

The little girl that played with this is now 50.




This little white wooden cradle 

also belonged to her.



Or course, I had to fire up the sewing machine

and create bedding for all of these beds:


This bed needed a fluffy comforter...





Can you see the little white bunny tails

sticking up off the fabric?  Super FUN !





I made patchwork mattress pads and pillows

for both of the cradles...





Then I stitched up little pink flannel blankies...





Now add a little girl and some baby dolls

and lots of play time !



It is FUN to jump outside of my Quilters Box

and do some different stitching.
