There are so many different topics we can do for Grandma's Kitchen, and I've loved making a list, reading your ideas and selecting a topic each week. This time someone at my online group shared a photo of her grandma in the Kitchen Window.. perfect right!
AND READ TO the end to FIND my favorite novelties for this!
Inside the pattern I describe both my grandma's kitchen windows. I think i would accurately sketch their homes from memory. When I was very little we lived one state away so saw them a lot.
The windows in a kitchen are pretty important... this made me think about the windows in the homes I lived in, the apartment's I've lived in and now the home I've had. We might take that window for granted, but back in the say, grandma spent quite a bit of time near the window. For my 'sort of modern' granny it was at the sink or in the case of my not modern Na-Na it was a huge feature at the end of the kitchen.
I am using these design boards to keep track as I sew. It really helps me so I don't twist & turn pieces by accident which is very important with this one!
The Block technique I used is a 'faux' mitered corner, using a HST. If you happen to be the 'Queen of Mitered Corners' go right ahead and do them! Not sure how, I spotted this great tutorial.
This block is one of the very first I did years ago. I love finding a great print or series of fabrics to showcase. You might have a great holiday print or
Down below I've listed some great Novelty LOVE that I spotted! Some day I'll tell you about my obsession with novelty prints.. interested?
