i love making handmade hotpads ....i find the perfect fabric for them quite often
|
this year it is michael miller kitchenette fabric |
|
and i already had the perfect back |
|
i like to load one yard on top and one yard on the bottom on the longarm with two layers of batting or one layer batt one layer insulbright ~and then i do an easy all over machine quilting |
|
cut the yard into approximately twenty 8" squares ~ i often round the corners for easier binding [no mitering] |
|
choose some fun bindings and a bit of ribbon |
|
the best part is that two yards of fabric make approximately twenty hot pads or mugmats |
|
and since i also love this moda garden project fabric |
|
i have a few more started xo |
|
the one on the left is inspired by a hotpad that kay made for our quilt group a few years ago... |
|
it has an 8" quilted back |
|
with four 8" squares folded in half and woven together on the front ~ then sewn right sides together |
|
my finished pile is growing slowly...eleven down twenty something to go |
only four more sleeps xoxox pam
Those are just the cutest pot holders. I wonder if I have time.......
