This post is a tutorial + giveaways. We’ve got a huge pile of these kits–18 total– AND a stack of 38 Fat Quarters. That is a full collection of Little Village by Kinkame. Here’s how this works. You’ve gotta share this post on your Facebook page (if you have one) and leave us a comment here on the blog! This one is going to be a treat-a-friend giveaway so every winner will receive one kit to keep and one to give away. And, we’ll choose one BIG WINNER for the huge stack of fat quarters, too! The kits include a bunch of little rectangles and at least one bigger piece to use for the backside and binding. They run between 1/4-1/2 yard of fabric per kit. You’ll have to provide your own batting, but I used the edges of batting that I cut off when I am finished quilting a full-sized quilt. There are always all these strips left over and I just zigzag those together to make bigger pieces. I’ve included a little pattern here, too, so if you don’t win, you can still make one of these darling hot pads using the instructions here, on The Works. It came together really quickly and I was a bit slapdash at the end, so my apologies for the junky-looking corners and wonky seams!! Contest ends December 27th at midnight PT–winners will be announced Friday morning!
Here are the instructions with a little extra visual to show the process.

Hard to do this without the kit as you don’t give size for small rectangles. That said. I’d love to win your giveaway
Love making potholders! These kits are especially nice!
Merry Christmas y’all! Loving the fabric.
Really cute.
Merry Christmas
Potholders are so fun to make, and you can make them fit the person you are giving them to. It would be great to win!
Great idea. I love it. Merry Christmas Eve, one and all.
I love the fabric! So bright and perfect for the hot pads and use in my kitchen!
Cute idea. Always like to try something new. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a neat & fun idea!! Thanks!! Blessings to you for a wonderful Christmas & New Year!!!
Hot pads are great gifts and so easy to make. You can easily make one to match the recipient’s kitchen colors. I love them.
I make hot pads with my trial blocks & extra blocks all the time. They do make nice hostess gifts at any time of year. Would love to win. Thanks for the chance & Merry Christmas to all!
I have my friend to share with all picked out and I shared this on Facebook. This would be a happy gift!
Those are THE prettiest fabrics. I would love to win.~

I definitely need some new hotpads! Once Christmas is past maybe I can make some
I know the perfect person to share this with.

Very cute! I’d love to add this to my TO DO list for 2013.

Merry Christmas to all the staff at Clothworks!!! Love the fabric in this giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win it!!
Neat idea & thanks for doing this! Merry Christmas!
Love this…posting to Facebook!
Everyone can always use another hot pad and if not, make a couple to have on hand to stick in a wedding present…June will be here before you know it. What a fun idea. Thanks for the pattern and may the new year bring us all lots of good quilting times with great fabric.
What a marvelous idea! Hot pads are always in use at my house. We use them to take hot things out of the oven, out of the microwave, put them under hot pots to save the counter/table, put the hot plates on them to save the table. Always a nice gift as well.
Love the tutorial and the fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win.
These are really cute! Thanks for the giveaway and Merry Christmas!!
Love the fabric and the pattern
I would love to win either the kits or the fabrics.
Cute and easy beginner lesson. Will try these with my 4-H girls. It’s not that hard to figure out a size for the rectangles, but would be nice to not have to do math this early in the morning.
Thanks for the pattern and directions. A hot pad or two would make a great hostess gift. The fabric has great colors.
Thanks for the chance to win one of the fabric kits or bundle. My BFF is also a quilter!
Merry Christmas!!
Good time for giving. Thank you for this opportunity. Would love to make the potholders from this lovely fabric and good tutorial
Thanks for the great tip with things to use up small pieces of batting! Everyone needs hotpads!
First, I would like to say that I loved the tutorial for hot pads. I love to sew little projects and use them for hostess gifts and occasion gifts. Secondly, I love fat quarters so winning the bundle would be the frosting on the cake. Even though there are many more deserving or needing , I would definitely love to win the tower. I am moving and trying to decide on quilts for the beds in my quest rooms and this would be an answer for one of them. Thanks for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway.
What a great little project! I would love to win this!!!
This is my aim after Christmas. Make a pile of hotmats to have on hand for gifts during the year. Plus to replace my shabby ones. Love this new fabric.
Love Clothe Works fabrics and patterns, thank you for a chance to win
Merry Christmas, I just love your blog and Facebook site :0)

What a great idea! Thanks for the tutorial!
Shared on my facebook page and tagged you — Carla Geates
Looks to me like the 4 small pieces would be about 3″ by.4″ since the backing is 5″ by 7.5″ . I love the idea of the give away and the potholders. Thanks.
