BOOK REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: Gooseberry Patch Stitching for the Kitchen

| Filed Under: Book Reviews, Giveaways

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!

The book also included a techniques section which offers embroidery techniques as well essential techniques for making all the projects.  Plus all the embroidery designs are included and there is also a pocket at the back with all the patterns….woot! Gotta love that!

      This looks like a great book! I love baking, sewing AND crafting, so I am not sure I could choose between them.

      Thanks for the giveaway!

      I **LOVE** Gooseberry Patch! I have their Budget Friendly Cookbook. I don’t even think I have ever used a recipe out of there, I just love thumbing through the pages and reading all the sweet sentiments 🙂

    4. Debi says

      I love the Gooseberry Patch books and this sounds like a great addition to my craft and recipe book collections!

    5. Beth says

      I love Gooseberry Patch books! I would actually give this book to my mother-in-law as a gift; she is a very devoted sewer and embroider. Thanks for the giveaway!

    6. Mel says

      OOh. I’m a sewer AND a baker? I love to regular cook, also. But my favorite thing to do is bake goodies… 🙂

    7. Yvonne says

      I’m a crocheter, knitter, sewer, baker, and general crafter. LOVE all things crafty, especially looking through any kind of craft book.

    10. Sarah says

      My most favorite is crafting in the form of yarn (aka knitting!)
      but I really do love to bake too (trying to cut back because I am a chubbb!! LOL)

    11. Kerry says

      All three – baking, sewing, and crafting! 🙂 I depends on whether I want to eat something, wear something, or make something. 🙂

    16. Mrs.T says

      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!

    17. 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.

    32. Lynn says

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

    35. Teresa Young says

      I love to sew; right now I am enjoying making clothes for my granddaughters’ dolls. I hope to be teaching them to sew in a few years.

    36. Tammy says

      Awesoem looking book. Oh how I want it…I lov e that house cover for the toaster overn…..So cute. I love to sew….And craft and quilt too..

    37. Denise Sullivan says

      Two of my favorite things cooking and sewing and add in Smashed peas and carrots and I am a girl in heaven! Thanks for always giving away such great stuff. Have a great weekend and let us know if you like the book.

      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.

      Great post!!! Thank for sharing some of the projects from the book….so cute!! Gooseberry Patch books always get my attention….they are terrific! I am into sewing and baking. Seem to be popular in the commenting crowd today! Thanks for being on this tour–it’s always a bonus to discover a new and wonderful blog!!

    45. 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 😉

    46. 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

    47. 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!
