A Quilted Kitchen: 8 Projects to Stitch Up for the Kitchen

Quilts are functional pieces of art that can be used every single day. Having these objects dispersed throughout the home to be seen and used brings joy to many sewists. It’s often said that the kitchen is the room most frequently used in the home, so why not fill it with quilted accessories? Think mini quilted placemats, runners, trivets, oven mitts, wall hangings, aprons and more!

Check out this list of 8 Craftsy projects that will inspire you.
