16.1 – Mythical Creatures – Challenge 1 of Project QUILTING season 16

It's back! Time for season 16 of Project Quilting. A big THANKS to Kim Lapacek and Trish Frankland for our first challenge, Mythical Creatures. Kim and Trish make the new year sew much fun! I look forward the challenges each year!

 For challenge one, I'm happy to share my "Gnomes all Around" table topper.  It is 24x24" foundation paper pieced. I found this pattern in the Annie's Quilting book, Quilted Gnomes for your Home.  The patterns author is Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations. 


Trixie my cat approves of this weeks challenge!

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:  Ora Lin's Pattern:  https://youtu.be/0L7tIjQlf1c    Fun talk about housewives By Sewstine:  https://youtu.be/1v83LBYEDMY Finished Sewing Kit                                                     ...
