Cherry Christmas


Recently the Moda Bake Shop had a tutorial on making hot pads from charm packs.  I had to try this so I picked up a charm pack of "Cherry Christmas" and some coordinating fabric for the back.  I fell in love with these little hot pads, so I had to dig through some of my scraps to make a few more.


Some leftover "Cuzco" was on top of the pile so I made these three.  I wasn't happy with the way the edge looked by pulling the backing fabric to the front, so I had to try again.


I grabbed a left over block of "Comma" and turned it into a hot pad.  I bound this one the way I bind quilts and I was happier with the results.  I think I might be making a few more of these. Great idea for last minute gifts.  Click here for the link to the Moda pattern.


This is number 50 of this years Hex-a-thon.  Only two more to go.  Woohoo.

  8. Linda love the hot pads I got into making mug rugs and they are so addicting maybe because they are fast finishes.
