I do think at some point (and she's six months now, yes?) they start to see the middle of the night feedings as a reward, not just nourishment.
I can't offer sleeping suggestions that sound like they'd work for your desires, as by 6 months, my kids were out of my bedroom, but they weren't waking, either.
Do you feed her right before you want to go to sleep? I seem to remember that's what worked for us. If there'd been a few hours between the last feeding and my preferred bedtime, I'd wake them then, feed them, and I'd get maybe six hours, which turned to 8, etc.
