Sent my PM! now if everyone would consider using insulated batting not regular cotton batting that would be wonderful. regular batting can burn you if you try to use that for your potholders and also wont protect your tables from those marvelous white marks that a hot item can leave. just a thought....

well swappers jump on in! this is fun! ab feel free to post a little note in my tablerunner swap that you have a new swap going and all are welcome :) I am thinking my mom used those wicker like things in the center of the table and she also had this trivet she used that was what I thought was a resin owl but now I am thinking maybe it wasn't resin or it wouldn't hold a hot dish without melting right? oh it was truly beautiful LOL burnt orange, olive green, mustard gold all to match that stove, fridge and oven! egad. so ok it wont be either of those things which leaves me open to making something that might be actually trend friendly. I don't enjoy making modern style things very much they throw me for a loop.. so is it ok to make a modern color but traditional style one? hum.. now its a thinking thing.

Where is everyone! maybe the word hot pad threw them? mug rugs are all the rage why not hot pads? I made a starter piece the other day but the points in the center two got lost which irked me terrifically. They were all done with a 60 degree template so the hexagon shape was great! the pieces were great! the colors definitely not my mommas type at all. We had German style things all over our house. Non of that well cant say the word my mom used (cr..) all the time when she thought things were inferior. But now I am back to square one. I will not be making an olive owl or a bunch of people dancing in the black forest.. I promise.. but.. that leaves a whole lot of options in the making :)
