Great tutorial. I can't wait to make these for my hubby. He likes to sit in his recliner and eat soup or whatever and I usually give him a dishtowel under it and now I can make him his own little bowl holder.

My son had the same need for a "bib". Here is a link to the one I made for him. Can't be used in the micro due to the velcro, but he just puts his bowl in it to protect his hands.

I just re-read your message and I misunderstood when you said you put a dishtowel under the bowl. Thought you used the dishtowel as a "bib"

Thanks Belmer. I am making these for our local animal shelter to sell ( seen them for $10.00 online ). To speed things up instead of all over quilting I just make a large X to hold the fabric and batting together.This way I can string quilt and it goes much faster. I also put a small heart in the center as a last step to represent the animals. Some hearts are pretty good and some a little wonky, but some animals are in more need help than others.
I have also been giving them to friends and relatives to try to get the word out. It is amazing how everyone goes crazy over these and everyone needs one! My husband and I use them when sitting in front of the TV and I have heard they are great for ice cream. Thanks again.

this will join my projects for the week. I love my soups and I hate using plates under them when I sit in front of the TV and computer to have a quick lunch.
