I love how these woven strips turn out. I hope my swap partner likes it.
Next up . . . I'm hoping to turn this pile of scraps (and oh, so many more!!) . . .
into my version of a braided rug. So far I am liking the way it is turning out.
And to round out the week I did an 8 mile run Sunday morning, bike ride Monday night, 2 mile run Tuesday morning and a 3.1 mile run tonight. It feels great especially since I just wanted to come home from work today and go to bed. The run gave me just the energy push that I needed. I think I can make it another day. Yay!

I like your hot pad mat - weaving is not my bag, but I like the way this looks.
love your woven hot pad - and the rag rug looks interesting!
And your eercise routine sounds great, if not exhausting. Good for you!
Oh Joyce you make me tired reading about your run! lol... but I just LoVe the hot pad and so will your partner I'm sure! Well done!
You are really moving! Runs and rugs and hot pads!
I like the idea of your woven rugs in straight lines..might try that with stuff I am now "throwing away" (shutter)..Will be an ongoing project. Question? do you hand sew or machine sew the strips together?
Love the woven hot pad. Clever girl! I think I am brewing an idea here, thanks for the spark!
Love the hot pad. Do you put the heat-resistant fabric (the kind on ironing boards)between the layers? I've been thinking of making a few hot pads with that cloth but have no idea how it sews. Would love an opinion if you've used it.
FdLQ - Yes, I used a layer of the Warm and Natural Insul-Bright batting and a layer of regular batting. I had no problems quilting it on my sewing machine. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.
Popped by to visit you... I love the hot pad you made ...
