Back in August I was in a terrible car accident and can't do much of anything. Before the accident, I had been working on many projects but can't really do any of them now. About a week ago, I did find that I had cut out a pair of potholders and a large hot pad that fits under a cake pans and cookie sheets. The other day I went to work. What should have taken me no time at all, took me all day but I was able to complete them. The fabric has a recipe card motif. One of the recipes is for gingerbread men so I traced my own ginger guy and quilted him, with ginger-colored tread, in the middle of the potholders and hot pad. I had previously used the same fabric to make an apron with the ginger guy appliqued on the bib.

Glad you are getting back to your projects.

That is cute! I am also glad you can get back to your projects. It is so hard to not sew!

Very clever! I like your gingerbread men as the quilting. That would make a nice gift along with cookie and bread pans and recipes for someone's birthday. It will take a good year before you start feeling better. Wishing you a faster recovery.

Hope your feeling better and soon back up to full swing with your quilting!

Really cute!

Great idea. I am so glad you were able to complete your project.

Cute!

Hope your feeling back to "normal" again soon!!!

I like the recipe fabric and your idea of the gingerbread guy is clever. Its nice you are getting back to quilting, take care.

Thank you all so very much!
