Boston Star Hotpad Class - Will begin Mon Aug 20
1 Attachment(s)
Monday Aug 13 I will post the first part of a class on how to make a hot pad my way with my Boston Block shortcut method. It is really easy to do and a beginner can do this!!!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]355989[/ATTACH] I am going to post this in sections and will post a new section each day til we have the hotpad finished. I hope to have some conversation along the way and I encourage you to post pics of your progress as we go. You will need: Fabric: Using a 2 1/2" template 2 1/2" x 16" light fabric 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" medium fabric 3 1/2" x 8" dark fabric Backing - A square cut slightly larger than the size you want your hotpad to be. Some like to use insulbrite for the backing or in the middle Here is a discussion about using insulbrite http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...te-t58746.html Batting - I use 2 layers of Fairfield Co's tradtional batting. It is dense. You can use cotton batting or whatever you like. A template 2 1/2" template will make a 6 1/2" unfinished quilt block 3" template will make a 8" unfinished quilt block 3 1/2" template will make a 9 1/2" unfinished quilt block You can add borders to make your hot pad the size you would like it to be or you can leave it without any borders. That is up to you. If you prefer you can use a larger template and make your quilt block into a table topper or wall hanging etc. I do send out a 1 1/2" and a 2 1/2" templates for free. Just send me your postal address in a PM or email. I will get them out to you. I do have 3" templates I can send out for free for this class only but I don't have any plastic grid for them. they would just be clear squares. You can actually do this in your own timing if you can't join now. The class will remain online as a tutorial. Thanks!! Rhonda |

I haven't done a tutorial in a long time. Sign me up Rhonda. Not sure if I can do it as fast as you can but I will get it done. I've never done a pot holder before. :)
|
If I can find my small templates in time I will be joining you. I finally have pegboard installed on one wall in my sewing room. Yeah! Every template/ruler I find goes up on it now. :)
|
I'm in for this fun, useful project. I don't have any templates. I will pm you for a set. Thanks for everything you do for this Quilting Board!
|
Rhonda, I'm interested in this class. I bought some insulbrite when it was on sale...now I can actually use it.
Fran I also have your templates so I will be ready to start anytime. |
Rhonda, I would like to join your class beginning Monday, 20 August. Thank you!
|
Rhonda, if I am smart enough to follow this, I will try. I haven't been able to do any quilting with my surgeries, so I may just have to follow along at my own pace.
|
Morning Rhonda, I would like to join the class. I have the templates but will have to get some insulbright. I have never made pot holders but a nice idea for stocking stuffers for Christmas. Please add me to your list.
Pat |
Thank you! I would like to join in!

Hi Rhonda this looks like a fun thing to do but right now I am busy canning and do not have time is your pattern printable for a later date right now I am making dill pickles thanks Dodie
|
Hi, I'd love to do this. sign me up please..
|
I think I would like to join in your group. I've got so many fabrics that I need to use....this will work for me and will make some nice "gifties".....
|
You're all welcome to join in. I hope to have some discussion and have everyone post their progress pics as we go along.
For those who can't join us just yet the lessons will remain on the board and you can use them anytime you like. When I get to the last lesson I will put it all in a pdf for downloading. |
I have never signed up for a class but I'd like to try this one.

I sent you a PM but wanted to join in on the chatter :o. Can't wait to TNT.
|
Sounds like a great Christmas gift to make and give to friends. Thank you.
|
I realize some may not have their templates. The lessons will remain on the board so when you get your templates you can use the lessons.
|
Hi Rhoda,
I would also like to join, but I do not have the templates. Please let me know how to get them. Thanks |
Hi Rhonda,
Just bought some potholders that are too thin. Looking forward to this class! Thanks, Terry |
Yes count me in. Looking forward to another pattern for pot holders.
|
Count me in. I am always looking for new techniques of doing blocks. I have not used insulbrite before but I have some in my stash. Sounds like a good time to put it to good use.

Rhonda I am also interested in the class but do not have your templates. Will pm you with address. Thank you in advance for everything you have done & continue to do.
|
where do I sign up Rhonda
|
Rhonda, if you give another class, please count me in. Thanks.
|
Okay with 3 people being interested I will post a sign up and present a new class on this. I'll use a diff design but still Boston Blocks. So if you don't have a 1 1/2" or a 2 1/2" send me your postal address and I will send you the free templates. 1 1/2" will make a 6 1/2" quilt block and then I add borders to get to 8" that will be a 6 rows of 6 Boston Blocks. the 2 1/2" will make an 8 1/2" using 4 rows of 4 Bostons and no border.
|
OKAY!
