Hoping you are all having a happy and joyful Christmas! I thought I'd check in and share a few of this year's holiday projects I've been working on behind the scenes. First up, these three Christmas trivets/potholders. My friend Linda saw my cathedral window pincushions a while back and thought they were cool, but she's not a sewist, so I thought I would make her some trivets instead. They're made the same way as the pincushions, just much larger (they finish about 9 inches square), and have insulbright batting inside rather than polyfil. I used up a bunch of fun Christmas fabrics I had lying around, and made fabric covered buttons for the centers. I think they'll look cute on her Christmas table or laid out as a runner on her bar. I hope she likes them!
