Christmas is a time for tasty treats. Yummy smells fill the kitchen and spread throughout the house, drawing a crowd. Everyone has their favorite Christmas treat; frosted sugar cookies, gingerbread men, hand dipped chocolates, divinity, peanut brittle, the list goes on and on. Well, since I know the kitchen is such a bustling place this time of year I decided to make Christmas hot pads to share with friends and neighbors.
I used Julie’s Mr. Claus fabric by Moda. First I fussy cut the Santas. Then I surrounded them with 1 1/2″ strips of red and green in varying log cabin arrangements. Put the cream Merry Christmas print on the back and quilted them. The fun candy stripe made a great binding. And a red ric rac hanger to finish them off. Now they are ready to lend a hand in holiday baking.
So Cute!!!
Merry Christmas Em to you and your family! Hope you have a lovely time together.
Love your potholders – the binding is perfect. I also love the 'heart' quilt from your grandmother – and the rocking chair story. These family traditions are like a hug that stays with you all the time. Beautiful.
Those are darling and such a clever idea to share.
