Today I\u2019m taking you along on another adventure with Project Quilting \u2014 a series of fast, one\u2011week challenges that can squeeze creativity out of a person like juice from a lemon. This time the theme is \u201cScads of Plaid\u201d, which means\u2026 a whole lot of plaid. Quite literally. The challenge lasts only a week, so quick action and a sense of fun are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project must: be created from start to finish during the challenge week, clearly feature plaid, and meet at least one of the following: patchwork, appliqu\u00e9, or three layers stitched by hand or machine. The organizers gave us plenty of room for interpretation \u2014 you can use ready\u2011made plaid fabric or create your own illusion of plaid using stripes, shapes, and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I immediately thought of\u2026 the kitchen! More specifically \u2014 oven mitts. A strange association, I know.
I made a pair of mitts from contrasting fabrics \u2014 dark on one side, light on the other \u2014 and quilted the whole thing in a plaid pattern. Interestingly, the fabric design itself also resembles an unusual kind of plaid: mosaic\u2011like, geometric, a bit like tiles in a Mediterranean kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mitts have three layers: a cotton outer layer, a double thick cotton batting, and a lining made from dark cotton fabric.
I quilted everything in a simple grid, which adds structure and strength. I also added hanging loops \u2014 because convenience matters in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a quick project, but it brought me so much joy. I love when something practical can also be beautiful and full of character. And since the challenge theme is \u201cScads of Plaid\u201d \u2014 I think I hit the mark!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
