How about a chicken potholder/hotpad...

I saw the link to this tutorial on Sew Inspired on Pinterest.   I just had to try one...and may make more later. I showed it to my sister-in-law/best friend and she made one before I even started.  And her daughter suggested the chicken have an eye...so thank you Holly for that idea.  Hopefully tonight I will set and do the hand stitching on the binding.

It has rained a lot here today and really cooled down some.  But get this, when the cats first went out this morn, two of them went out on the sidewalk and sat a few minutes in the rain.  The heat must have been really getting to them because I have never noticed them doing that before.

  3. CUTE! Isn't it fun making something small and kinda silly? Makes for a nice break from the big quilt decisions. Holly is right, the button eye makes a nice touch.

  7. very strange for cats to sit in the rain... and i agree, the eye should be there. you will never have to buy a pot holder and that is a good thing.

  9. I love the pot holder/hot pad. Chickens are fun and I am glad you added the eye.
    Cats are funny and I am sure with their fur coats they welcomed the coolness.
