Little Women and A Farmhouse Pattern + a Free Pattern

 Little Women is one of my favorite books (and movies),  so I was very happy to have the opportunity to make a project (or two : ) ) with the new line of fabric - "Little Women" by Jill Howarth for Riley Blake Designs.

The author of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott, wrote the book at Orchard House.  Orchard House is a clapboard farmhouse in located in Concord, Ma and was the setting for the book.  You can read more about Louisa May Alcott and Orchard House [HERE]

Jill's illustrations of the little women were just begging to be fussy cut!  I decided to make a farmhouse inspired by Orchard House so that I could fill the windows with the women and adorable motifs from the fabric.

Each sister,  and Marmee can be seen in the windows of the house.

So much fun to fussy cut adding the cutest little images like the inkwell which is from the "Gifts" print.

At the last minute, I decided to make a cute little pouch.  The 12 Patch Pouch is another pattern perfect for fussy cutting.  The pattern is a free pattern you can find [HERE]
