Paper Pieced Hot Pads While Learning to Quilt

When my friend taught me paperpiecing, I went nuts and learned on a lot of hot pads to perfect my skills with this technique. All hot pads have two layers inside, one of batting and one of Insulbrite for heat protection. I made sooo many of these, and gave them away for gifts, and then sold a bunch at a craft show. Great way to use up scraps! I have a quilter friend who gives me all her scraps, coordinated in bags already from her projects for me to use up. Most are sewn on my 100+ year old treadle machine.
