Hot Pads...

 

My stock pile of hot pads is running low...



I like to keep them around for gift giving...

everybody needs a new hot pad !

A great way to use up those

fabric scraps...



Insulbrite batting as the base

and then stitch & flip the fabric strips in place...





Similar to log cabin blocks...

A pile of tops all done.




All finished with the backings,

then turned right side out

with top stitching all around the edges.





They pile up quickly !





The best part is....no binding necessary.





Give them away to everyone you meet up with !



4 weeks left in the calving season...


These first time heifers are being stubborned...

no baby calves yet !





They are beautiful 2 year old heifers...





This is Eloise (left) and Elsa (right)...

They are yearling replacement heifers.

They will be bred this summer and have

their first babies next Spring.




I just love spending time in the heifer field.

  2. Love your hotpads. I only put one piece of insulbrite between the top and the backing which I use old jeans. I think I'll make some more and add the extra piece. Also, I've wanted to make some larger to set casserole dishes on. Thanks for the inspiration this morning. Now to get to the machine!!

    1. Hi Lynda, the denim is a great idea. I am a believer in using what I have on hand, especially since I live an hour or more from any stores. Just can't run out and buy what I need. Using what you have is always best.

  3. You have such good ideas! I have a slew of orphan blocks that I have never known what to do with, and potholders will be perfect. Thanks for sharing. :-) And how I love seeing the heifer field. (and the cow on the left in the last picture you shared just cracked me up-the big old photo bomber.)

  4. Thanks Dahn! We all inspire one another, now don't we! The photo bomber is Althea Red. She never lets the rest of the heifers out of her sight.
    Hugs,
