Kitchen Stitching

 

Good morning!

How are you today?

One of the most recent trends (as in the last couple of decades) are quilts that celebrate cooking and food.  I think it is likely because of "foodies":  folks who love cooking and food.  Also more techniques using kitchen gadgets are being shared on the internet.

Most recently, I found an interesting tutorial on how to use coffee filters to make crazy quilt circles (although I think you could use this method for other techniques).  See it here.

Another method of applique employs a drinking straw.  You can see that one here.

Many of us have even made a kitchen themed quilt or two.  Here are a few of mine:

I've even heard of "kitchen quilts"--but that term referred to pot holders in the 1980s.  With so many mug rugs and other accessories, I'm sure there is a variety of "kitchen quilts".

Have you done any quilt in the food theme?

Have a safe and happy day!
