I’m so excited for today’s post! We’re kicking off the Vintage Home Sewing blog tour today – and we’re having a giveaway! But before we dive into the giveaway I want to show you around the book a little more!
Vintage Home Sewing is made up of eight sewing projects that range in time and skill level so there is something for everyone! You can find projects like a simple coaster set all the way up to a throw-size quilt!

The quilt in the book is called the Diamonds and Rings quilt. I wanted to create a quicker version of a wedding ring quilt. This cute quilt uses applique for the “rings” portion and it’s so fun to put together! You can have a lot of fun fussy cutting the diamonds too!
I created two versions of all the projects in the book so you could see them in different colorways. I wanted to give you a couple different ideas for inspiration for each project!
Here’s a more of the fun projects in the book!
I love how the Dresden Pillows look made up in different Riley Blake Linens and Grandale fabrics!
These Vintage Totes are such a fun way to give a vintage embroidery piece that’s been damaged a new life! I made up one version in Vintage Adventure and another in my favorite prints in the Guinevere collection – they are so retro and delicious!!
And as a fun note – the two embroidery pieces I used on the totes were actually on the same embroidered runner – just at different ends! I have no idea why the sweet person who made this originally embroidered one end of her runner in pink and one in yellow but I love her for it!
You know I had to include an embroidery project in the book too! This Adventure Awaits hoop is so fun to stitch up – and it would make a great gift too!
One of my other favorite things about the book is the price! It’s only $9.95 – so you can eight projects for about the price of one quilt pattern!

The quilt is so pretty (I love applique) & I probably need the bicycle pillow, too.
I think I’d start with the bicycle pillow – so cute.
You fabric is beautiful! Love your designs! I think I would like to make a quilted tote this with your cute fabric. Thanks for the chance to win, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Is there a possibility to get the book digital as I am from Switzerland and shipping is always a big thing?
I love all the projects, but if I had to choose the first one, I guess it would be the Quilted Box Zipper Bag. Adorable projects and such a cute book, Bev! Congrats!
Love the vintage fabrics. Inspires me to start quilting again.
I really want to make the daisy bouquet dish towel. It is adorable!
Your patterns are beautiful.
I always love your designs. And who can’t help but smile just looking at the darling fabric!
I never made a proper patchwork piece but I want to do that some day. Winning this could give me just that motivation to really start doing it!
I’d start with the bicycle pillow – and I also love the Dresden plate pillows. Great Christmas gift ideas! I already bought the book and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival. I’d give this copy to my best quilty friend! Thanks for your generosity – can’t wait to see all the goodies and inspiration on the ‘hop’. Have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.
I would love to do the pillow first.

Your book is just what I need to add to my vintage collection (“all things vintage”). A purchase is definitely in my future (even if I win!)…….
The Dresden Plate Pillow! I LOVE Dresden!!
Beautiful fabric & finished projects!
I already have some of the fabric. I loved it so much I bought some as soon as I saw it, but would love more. I would probably make one of the totes first and then a quilt!
I’d have to start with the beautiful coasters!
I’m a bag person–I’d love to make those cute bags first!

So many options! Wow!!
Love the selection of quilt projects in this book. Thank you for the opportunity to win a fantastic giveaway.
Those vintage totes are so cute. Now to find a good table runner!
I love the bag with “rescued” embroidery. I have some pieces that my Mom embroidered (table scarves) that got chewed on by some mice that I haven’t thrown away yet. This gives me a great idea for keeping most of them. Thank you!
Beautiful book AND fabrics. I have a ‘thing’ for pin cushions, so that would be my favorite! Deb E / Oregon
I’m into nightly handwork lately and the Vintage Embriodered Tote would be a wonderful combination of machine and handwork. The quilt would also be a front runner, you can’t have to many quilts. Especially when there’s always someone that you want to give one to. Your fabric line is beautiful I love the color combination. Congratulations on your book you must be so excited I can’t imagine what this accomplishment means to you, I’d be bouncing off the walls with excitement. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us. ;-> Toni Anne
I love everything about this book, but my favorite is the bag.
I am a super amateur seamstress so I think the hexi coaster look like a very good place for me to start. I need to replace the sweet handmade coaster my mamma made for me around 20 yrs ago. The colors are perfect!
I have admired all your projects for some time. Your fabric line is really fresh! I must make the bicycle pillow first!
Been on a pouch kick lately – the zippered box has such a cute shape, plus love that decorative zipper!
I have so much collected embroidery that the Vintage Embroidery Tote would be the perfect pattern to try first! Thanks for the chance to win.
Awesome book…..Thanks for a chance to win !
I would LOVE to do the bicycle pillow!
I would make the pillows and the tote! I am I love with this fabric!
Wow this is a great book…love fabrics..thanks for a chance to win…
I’m partial to anything that works for storage, so I think the first thing I’d make from the book would be the small zippered pouch. I could probably use several of these without any problem!! :-) Thanks so much for giving us a chance to win!!
I like the tote bags because I have a lot of vintage embroidered pieces that have seen better days and could be salvaged in this way. The tea towel is sweet also. I would be likely to start with one of these items.
I Love the tote bags
I’d love to make the embroidered totes.
I would love to win this. It would match my needleminders from you. Love everything you do. Thanks!
I like how you can use the Vintage Adventure fabrics as an EYE SPY adventure quilt.
We love camping. I would love to make throw pillows with the new fabric. And, the book would be icing on the cake!
I would love to make the project with the map. Thanks
I would definitely be making the “Adventure Awaits” project for our friends who sold their home and are traveling non-stop–often in an RV, but sometimes internationally. We’re such homebodies, and it’s so much fun to get postcards from Spain or the National Parks, telling us about their adventures. Right now, circumstances keep us at home, but it is a nice reminder that Adventure Awaits…I might need to make one of those for us, too, to hang on our own wall. :)
I love watching your wonderful successes. The book is beautiful. I’d choose to start with that delightful Dresden pillow, but also the embroidered hoop. Congrats on all of it!
