I am thinking of trying those - but quilting them afterwards :)
I have made these pot holders, they are addictive. I did a criss-cross stitch in the center to tack everything down, they work great!


I'm gonna start on some tomorrow. Got the chores all out of the way today. Tomorrow is play day! I want to make a couple for every one of my female relatives for Christmas. They look like they'd be fun to work on. I've got so many odds 'n ends of small fabric pieces that'll work well with them. I also bought a big batch of insulbrite once, a couple of years ago when it was on sale. Now I'll get to use it up.

Sounds like you have a fun and productive day ahead of you. O made them one year for all the female family members. Another year I mad trivets by sewing two pieces of fabric together leaving on end open. I then sewed channels into it and filled the channels with rice leaving just enough head space to top stitch the opening closed. They loved these too.
The trivets are a cute idea!!
