Heat and Cold Bags

Last night, I went to tatting. I worked on a tatted lanyard for awhile. I got bored with it and started knitting for awhile. I got bored with that and decided I would leave and come home. I got home and sewed up these three little pillowcases to cover another three little bags I made to hold field corn. the top one has some fabric that looked like the map of the United States on it. I fussy cut it so Texas would be on the front!  This one is going to my husband.  I made the other two with left over fabric from a quilt for my MIL...I love using scraps to make something functional and fun!  Anyway, I heated one of these up last night and put it at the bottom of the bed and I did not have cold feet last night!  I love these things.  My friend gave me the field corn in December.  She had bought a big bag of it and shared it with all of us.  She gave me enough for one bag then came back and gave me three more bags of it.  I made one and gave to my son, then after I got these other three bags of corn, I made these.  Great little gifts for athletes or anyone!  I gave one to my friend in the office today and she loved it. She says she's going to use it tonight when she goes to bed.

I don't know if you can read this but here's the instructions that goes with the bag.  I plan on making more of these soon.  I just don't want to buy a 50 lb bag!!!

Tonight, I'm working on putting the binding on one of my finished quilts.  I hope to show you that tomorrow or Friday.  Until next time, happy quilting!
