Those are fabulous. Is there a pattern for these and how you made them using the Dresdin Plate. Do you use border fabric? Full of questions! I want to make some. Thank you.

They're gorgeous. I'd frame them, not put a hot dish on them! They're that pretty.

They look great, and I've been playing with the template you so generously sent me. Question for you – are you going to bind them or turn them? Thanks!

If I am sewing them onto a background I use the buttonhole stitch on my sewing machine. I use the stitch that is close together and go slowly so I cover the raw edge.

These are going to be hotpads. I use the birthing method and I turn them rt side out through the center hole. Then I sew on a flat yoyo. I top stitch it on.

Since I wrote an ebook offered here on the Board on the Dresden Kaleidoscopes.

I did a basic tute on how to make the DKs.

I am thinking about doing a tute on how to make the DKs into hotpads. Maybe some time soon.
