Today I am part of the Gooseberry Patch book tour for their newest book, Stitching for the Kitchen. This book marries two of my most favorite things…cooking and sewing….so I was more than happy to review it! The minute it arrived in the mail I promptly sat down on my porch and flipped through it noting all the fun projects I wanted to make while my kids ran through the sprinklers.
Like this Appliqued House Trivet…so cute! How fun would this be for a Christmas gift!
And I love, love, love this Warm and Toasty Toaster Cozy. I want it just for me!!! I can see my girls wanting to play house with it 🙂
The book has 30 easy projects from sewing to embroidery as well as it has recipes sprinkled throughout it that many times correlate with the project. Like a recipe for Super Simple Parkerhouse Rolls that would be just lovely in the Divided Bread Basket project. How’s that for nifty? It makes this book just perfect for gift giving…you could make a project and then add the recipe for a bridal shower…or make a project and make the recipe for say a housewarming! Awesomesauce!

I love baking, sewing and crafting. Not baking as much in the hot weather we’ve been having; no-bake cookies are fast becoming my go-to dessert! The book looks great and you wrote a great review. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
VickiT says
What an awesome looking book. I’ve seen many of the Gooseberry Patch recipe books so this has to be a great book too. Their recipes books are wonderful.
My first love is baking/cooking but now that I am unable to stand for health reasons as I used to be able to, I have to say that probably sewing and quilting has moved to the top of that list.

Crafting, sewing, quilting & baking, in that order. Of course if you start with baking then you have snacks while your craft, sew…..

This book looks awesome and so many great projects! I love quilting, embroidery, hand piecing and lots of other crafts. I’m not really a baker, cookies are about all I do, so some kind of handwork it is, hehe.
Thank you and Gooseberry Patch for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

Jule says
I prefer all of them but the easiest is baking, cause it’s something you can do every day and you have already a working space 😉
Houseful Of Nicholes says
I pretty much like it all. If I can make someone’s day brighter by something that I have made with my own two hands (or the eight of my children’s) I’m all for it! Thanks for sharing
Cecilia says
My two favorites are baking and quilting! If I didn’t have to clean up I’d be in a continual state of doing either of those two!
