I like your dish mat, but what's a dishwasher? LOL

Instead of pushing the issue I made this little cutie from a scraps of batting and leftover fabric from another project. Simple and cute and adds a touch of whimsy to the kitchen.

Just like us quilters...when life hands us lemons, we make lemonade!! Or is that when life hands us scraps we make something useful!!!

Cute idea...

That is really cute, I would tell him either get it fixed or he will have to do the dishes. My HD does the dishes even with a dishwasher. Cookie64

what a great idea!! I usually wash my pans by hand and lay out towels on the counter. Will definitely make a couple of these.

Very cute idea!

This is absolutely brilliant! I don't even have a dishwasher (kitchen so small one wouldn't fit in), and I live in a very hard water area so I'm always struggling to deep my metal dish drainer looking decent. I am definitely going to copy your idea and make a couple of these. Thank you so much for sharing...I love it when someone comes up with such a great idea that we can all copy!

Wow - what a great idea! I bought one of those plain ivory dishmats but I'm definitely thinking about making a cover for it or just taking it apart and using it for the inside with a pretty outer cover and re-binding the edges. I would have never thought of that if you hadn't shown your pretty mat. :thumbup: Thanks again for sharing and I hope you get your dishwasher up and running soon.
