Wool Hot Pads & "Mug Rugs"

I knew there was still a bit of life left in the beautiful striped burgundy and green blanket!  After disposing of the "holey" bits, I was able to make five sets of 4 coasters (mug rugs); and six hot pads.  Each item is double-thickness, machine stitched, and then finished off with a complementary blanket stitch edging.

The rich colours in these pieces would add lots of life to a rustic environment.....

Mug Rugs and Hot Pads

I've been taking advantage of some quiet time during the Christmas season to upcycle some more of the great wool blankets I've been collecting.  I especially love the rich charcoal gray and black in this particular piece of wool. These hot pads and mug rugs (coasters) are all double-layered, machine sewn, and finished off with a black wool blanket stitch.

Hot Pads and Mug Rugs

When the weather outside is frightful ..... I'm happy to stay in and work away on my various projects.  I have some wonderful old wool blankets that I've collected recently - most of them very well worn and no longer suitable for use, other than to upcycle them into something new and useful.  These hot pads and mug rugs were made from the last viable portions of a great old charcoal/blue striped blanket.

Each piece is double layered, machine stitched, and finished with a blanket stitch.

Wool Hot Pads - "Trapper Point" Collection!

Among my collection of thrift shop blankets was a pure wool Trapper Point blanket - full of holes and no longer viable for use as a blanket.  I salvaged what I could of the beautiful blanket to make these classic-style hot pads.  Each pad is double thickness, machine stitched and then edged with blanket stitch.
