14.2 – Pink Tint – Challenge 2 of Project QUILTING Season 14

For this challenge I decided to make a historical sewing kit, housewife, hussif or hussy I found a free pattern at  Ora Lin 's pattern shop and of course had to make it my own as most quilters do.  I love learning about antique and vintage quilts so making a historical sewing kit has been something I have wanted to do for a while now. Just to note its not a historically accurate hussy. 

To learn more about historical sewing kits here are the two vlogs I found helpful, insightful, and just fun to listen to while sewing.  Check out  these links:

I have my kit fully loaded and ready for English paper piecing(EPP)!
I wanted my not so historical kit to have a soft romantic look.
 I used vintage (and some not so vintage) lace and trim that I've collect.



I modified the sewing kit pattern to make it wider
 and changed the shape of the flap. I also moved the pincushion to the
outside made it into a flap this helps to keep my scissors from flying out.

Project Quilting Season 15!  15.1 – Bird House Hello!  I'm excited to join in another season of Project Quilting this will make my 4th year participating. I hope you enjoy my first challenge for 2024. There's Room for Everyone! By Jodie Solorio This was the first time I've made a wholecloth quilt and it was the first time I've used fabric paints instead of applique. As I was brainstorming ideas with my quilt friends it was suggested to keep the flowers in black and white. I thought this was a great idea as it would emphasize the birdhouse. I added several more birds and I found the perfect binding!   "There's Room for Everyone!" By Jodie Solorio This month out guild hosted a presentation and a workshop with Spanish Quilter Cristina Arcengui Bono.  I was lucky enough to attend her workshop, "Tea At Five".
