Making potholders

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.[/quote]
This sounds good too. Who wouldn't want to have a pretty and useful trivet. I'll put that on my list. Sounds easy enough. Maybe matching trivets and potholders for the lucky recipients.
I love this board!

Do you quilt thru the aluminium foil like regular?

I did a *duh* last night. I was up until 2:30 this morning sewing, making a sample pot holder (never made one before.) After I got it quilted and the binding put on, I realized I only put one layer of w&n inside it. Really ticked me off as I was really pleased how it turned out. I guess it will make a nice candle mat, or something to put under a warm plate in my lap.
