Lillian (lbrow) unknowingly gave me this idea. She had mentioned a FSL coaster project she is working on, and the absorbancy of the coasters. That gave me the idea to turn this poor old faithful towel into something still usefull. I also thought I can use them as lid lifters for pots on the stove. Thanks Lillian xoxox

Very nice. It is great to see how an idea comes about. One little spark and someone can think of a multitude of things. Good job on the Recycle.

ty yes it does *

Very clever. We need to recycle more. Sometimes the recycled looks even better than the original. (like some of those gals embroidering over holes) :)

I agree, we live in a "disposable" society. I have enough rags, never enough coasters! lol *

Very clever and good recycling. More of us need to do that. Did you put anything on the back that would take the heat should you use them as pot holders?

I think too small for pot holders, just lid lifters to take a peek in the pot. I spose you could dbl up the towel or use a felt backing. *

great way to get second life from something that could have been thrown out Jo

Don't know how I thought of it I'm not usually very imaginative lol *

Someone asked me two days ago what could be done with a pile of old nappies (diapers), could they be made into teatowels. I did think so, but now I now. Would make an awful lot of coasters. Great idea and lovely execution Miss Charlie!
