\u201cThe Influence of the Kitchen\u201d is the title of Kim Lapacek\u2019s third challenge. I\u2019m not sure if I translated it into Polish very well. The task is to make something functional for the kitchen or the dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had several ideas, and at first, I could not make up my mind. Eventually, in the end I decided to make a fruit bowl for the kitchen, inspired by Valentine\u2019s Day. I made my project in Corel. Below you can see a photo of the design while in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can download the finished PDF template here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I printed out the design, and copied  onto some freezer paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can print out the design directly onto the freezer paper if you have it in letter size. I only had rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Next, I cut out all the elements and glued them to the selected fabrics and cut them out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember not to leave any seam allowance, there is NO seam allowance in this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut along the edges of the finished pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

When all the elements were cut out, I attached them onto a stiffener board with glue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I cut out all the pieces. Thanks to the stiffener board, all of the elements were now rigid, just like I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Instead of batting, I used double sided fusible web to join all the individual elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I glued it on all of the pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I cut everything out and then glued them together. After the glue-up was done, here is what I\u2019m left with – one hexagon, six triangles, six hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I connected triangles and hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Remember! Only the longer arm of the triangle is sewn to the hearts. The shorter arm will be sewn to the hexagon (at the very end).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend that you pin the sides together before sewing the last part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not pin the sides myself and it made the quilting very hard because the whole piece was very stiff, and it was hard to push it under the needle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In the pictures below you can see how crooked my quilting turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

 I sewed in the hexagon to the bottom of the triangles and finished it with dense zig-zag stiches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
