Housewife vs Huswif?

The very first pattern of "American Schoolgirl Club"

has just arrived yesterday.

Very exciting thing for sure!

Then all of the sudden,

 my mood has gone into Kathleen Tracey's world,

with doll quilts, reproduction fabrics and such.

I pulled out one of her books called "Remembering Adelia",

along with other books

and found something I have been thinking about

making one for myself.

Since I saw this lovely post about a week ago,

I really wanted to have one!

Ta-dah!!

I made one last night with my favorite fabric line,

 "InkWell Prints" by Judie Rothermel.

I just love her fabric,

 I mean anything comes from her line

will give me a big smile :)))

I bought this Fat 8th bundle at a wonderful shop called

"Quilter's Coop" in Temecula, CA last year,

and have tempted to use them for my project since then.

But I could not just cut any

till find a good project to go with...

So what I had to do is when I visited my LQS the other day,

to get some more of  FQs of the same fabrics

just to play with!

How shilly it could be!?

I really enjoy seeing the bundle laying on my sewing table

the way it is...

Then I made some binding clips with

the fabric covered buttons from the left over scraps

of the Housewife.

They are for the bindings or

keeping your linen to roll up while stitching.

Something handy to have, not for your hair!

Anyhow, this Housewife was very fun to make.

The instructions in the book is pretty much straihgt forward.

I usually make some little changes

 here and there from the original,

but I was good with this one, no changes at all.

BTW, some says "Housewife" while the others say "Huswif".

I don't know the difference, but this particular one is

named as Housewife.
