Jan Riser Housewife

Jacob bought this nice housewife from Jan Riser at the CLA show. The green exterior is wool dyed in osage orange sawdust and over-dyed with logwood by Anne Ramsey. The interior is made it from various pieces of vintage homespun fabric. The inside has a couple of spare buttons sewn on, a needle in the pincushion on the right in the middle photo and several lengths of thread in the interior pockets. Jacob will get years of use out of it, like I have from the one Linda made me years ago.
