Quick Gifts
 

I made some quick trivets (hot pads) for small gifts for Xmas for our favourite waitresses and neighbours etc. The squarish ones were left over fabric from a door hanging I made last year. The round trivets are from a panel and are the perfect size for this purpose. I used two layers of fabric plus a layer of batting and a layer of Insul-Brite. I learned how to use my circle maker that I found on Nancy's Notions site and it worked well for my circles. The snowmen were a good chance to practice my free motion, too. I hope the recipients enjoy using them on their tables during the holidays!

all perfect for the holidays!

Those adorable!

Those are all adorable. You have me wanting to make some tonight as a hostess gift for my daughter in law.

Fabulous gifts for the holidays.

What a great idea for Christmas. I think I know what my friends are getting next year. If I start now I might be done by then. Thanks for sharing.

What adorable gifts! Thanks for posting such a great idea.

love them all, so pretty and excellent job on them

These are great! You are so creative and talented!

very nice....

How cute are those!!!!! Will make cute gifts!!!

Wish I had time to go shopping for fabric like yours. Those are the cutest!

Just too cute and practical as well.

Very cute. The round ones would also make a lovely table topper if sewn together, much the way you have them laid out.

Those are all great and such wonderful gifts.

they are all great love the snowmen

Very cute gifts.

thoughtful and wonderful gift idea... I especially loved the square snowmen.

The recipients will love them. I love the circles. Guess I have to get one of those cutters!

Great job... they are so pretty.

Adorable and I know they will be loved!

These are adorable and a great use for those panel sections you don't know what to do with!

It's not a cutter but instead helps you sew in circles on your sewing machine.

Oh I just love them! They are so adorable!

Sweet! Love those and wish I was on your list.

They are both so wonderful :)

Those are the perfect little gifts and look so nice!

Ice job! Must feel good to have some gifts done.

Nice Christmas gifts.

super sweet! Sure to be enjoyed!

I love the Santa circles! Who makes the panel? Was that a recent purchase? Want it!

What a great gift idea!!!!!
