Grandma's Cupboard
I have fuzzy memories of my Grandma’s kitchen. But I do fondly remember my sister and I spending hours in her kitchen with her. Not necessarily cooking because she really didn’t enjoy cooking or baking. She was head nurse of a large hospital with her twin sister and they shared
Daily Bread
I bake a bread almost every day. This seems to be part of my German heritage, we just love a good crusty bread. I keep it very simple, just four ingredients: flour, water, yeast and salt. This gets mixed together and I let it rise for about 12 hours, then
Guest participant
I received an email from Denise Giardullo, who sent an image and some thoughts on our kitchen prompt. Denise says: The theme Kitchen quilt resounded with me. Quite a few years ago I made a Kitchen Quilt called Cook for Two. Using old A&P fliers, and old magazine advertisements,
Ghost Chef
I recently attended a retreat where I was taught a technique similar to sun printing, where you can paint fabric and place objects onto the wet cloth — as it dries, a ghostly image remains where the object touched the fabric, or blocked the light. I searched our kitchen

Color in the Kitchen
This is NOT my kitchen. I know it is beautiful and it is very modern and quite fashionable right now, but it just could never be my kitchen. I need color–fashion be damned! THIS is my kitchen. I know–you thought it was a Mexican restaurant, but it is, indeed,
Kitchen sink
I was thinking about quilts inspired by kitchens, and I remembered this one. I made it several years ago. It is based on an old black and white photo of my Aunt Fern bathing her daughter Sue in the kitchen sink! Be watching – Cloth in Common members
I would rather stitch
When I read that this rounds prompt was ‘Kitchen Inspiration’ my heart sank. Sorry Regina but the first thing I did was google the opposite of inspiration. I found disincentive, discouragement, hindrance, characterless, uninspiring, unstimulating and many more. Actually I think ‘apathetic’ best described my reaction to the prompt.
