Today is my day for the It's cool to be square blog hop. Thank you Carol @ justletmequilt.blogspot.com for hosting this hop and letting me join. I was going to share a beautiful quilt I am working on, but it is not happening. I have had to switch to hand piecing as there is no room in my house to sew right now. We are under major construction at my house right now. But man it will be nice when we are done.
So instead of sharing a quilt, I have chosen to share some hot pads. Hot pads are a huge necessity at my house. I love to cook and bake.
These hot pads whip up fast, and I am glad I had some already done.
I put 2 layers of batting and 1 layer of insul bright in my hot pads to make them thick for outdoor cooking. Cast iron dutch ovens get hot.
Here is a link to a tutorial I did on hot pads

I hope to get at least the top of my quilt done this week and I will definitely share it. Here is a peek of the quilt I am working on
Please join these other bloggers to see what they are sharing.

What a great way to use up stash!
ReplyDeleteYour tutorial link couldn't have come at a better time! I have a set of pot holders on my To Do List. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to sew during home projects (and moving like I'm doing) but I'm glad you took some time to share your potholders with us. My potholders are not looking very pretty so thanks for the inspiration and for being a "cool" blog hopper!
ReplyDeleteOh man do I need to make some of these. My hot pads are old and used for sure!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed discovering your blog. I think I will poke around awhile.
I love hot pads. thanks for sharing your link.

Hot pads...cool and square! I keep intending to make more for myself - the ones I have work well but look more than well-used! Thanks for the share.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I never have enough potholders! Thank you so much for sharing your link. I am going to make me some!
ReplyDeleteI love potholders. But I always do them as rectangles. Maybe I should try a square one now?
ReplyDeleteLove a good square hot pad. Those are certainly cool as squares.
ReplyDeleteOne can never have enough Potholders. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteGreat potholders, one can never have enough
ReplyDeleteGood looking potholders!
ReplyDeleteThe sneak peek. is very inviting. Love the colors. Hot pads are wonderful aren't they, so many uses. In fact I'm using one this morning as a mug rug cause it was handy.
ReplyDeleteGood idea on all the extra insulation for outdoor hot pads (not that I do a lot of outdoor cooking but you never know).
ReplyDeleteYour potholders look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun hot pads! I love the mushroom print!
ReplyDeleteHot pads are always great and are well used in our household. I really should make some more - thank you for the reminder!
