13.3 – Kitchen Influence – Challenge 3 of Project QUILTING Season 13

What’s shaking, bacon? This is Trish (aka QUILTchicken), your Project QUILTING challenge mistress.

Are you hot for the next challenge, or are you cool as a cucumber, ready for anything?

Because I’m at a rolling boil, waiting to share this next amuse-bouche with you!

But first – just a word of thanks for the incredible gallery of silhouettes completed for the last challenge. Isn’t it fun to see how many topics and techniques can be used to the same effect? And while I always have ideas on what you might make, as always you’ve thought of things that didn’t even occur to me. *chef’s kiss

Side Note about Prizes! Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a random drawing to win one of the amazing prizes from our sponsors! Be sure to check out THIS post for all the prizes up for grabs this weeks and to thank our awesome sponsors! Our Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is the Blue Bar Quilts. AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted your name will also be added into the final drawing at the completion of the season for an opportunity to win the GRAND PRIZE! Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!? Can it get much better?

Now, on to this week’s challenge!

PQ13.3 Kitchen Influence

They say the stomach may be the fastest route to the heart, and also that the kitchen is the heart of a home. So this week, let’s use food and cooking as our inspiration!

Whether you use food-printed novelty fabric, make a functional project for use in the kitchen or dining room, or use the shape of a favorite food or utensils as inspiration for something more artful … the choice is yours. I’m sure you’ll think of a million ideas I haven’t even considered!

(OMG – have I actually issued a challenge that ENCOURAGES the mug rug of last resort?)

SIDE NOTE: I’d like to encourage your participation this week in our Facebook Challenge Quilts group and ask for your best recipes. I’m soo burned out from making the same dinners over and over. Do you have fresh ideas? How about some tried-and-true quick recipes to allow more time for sewing? Suggestions for Kim’s picky eaters? Offer them up! We’re all interested.

Rule 1: your project must be inspired by something from the kitchen.

Rule 2: You have one week to meet the challenge. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline – that is, started on or after noon January 30th, 2022, and linked up by noon Central Time February 6th, 2022.

Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes.

Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.

If you finish more than one project that is amazing but please just link up to a single completed project.

Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.

Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, February 6th at noon CST (here’s a link to time zone converter to calculate for Central Standard Time: www.thetimezoneconverter.com)

Add to the linky the URL of your project’s blog post, public instagram picture, or public facebook posting. This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help you. At this time, if you choose to link up to an instagram or facebook url you will have to manually upload the picture to go with it – look at the section “upload a link” on THIS POST to see how to do this.
Alternately, by 11:50am on Sunday, February 6th you may email a picture and description to {projectquilting@gmail.com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is a little earlier because it requires more work for Kim.

Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Don’t forget to post progress pictures because that’s part of the fun.
