MOD TEXTURED HOT PADS SET; Castle Rock-WA

MOD TEXTURED HOT PADS SET; Castle Rock-WA

These colorful, textured hot pads, were worked to match the variegated EX-Lrg. Rectangular Hot Pad I made a couple months ago, while in CA for the Fall of 2015.

MOD ROUND ROSE-TRIMED LID KNOB HOT PAD

MOD Round Rose-Trimmed Lid Knob Hot Pad; Castle Rock-WA

I like these lid knob pads because they are easier to use on pot lids, than the bigger & bulkier regular hot pads: just slip them over the lid knobs 😊

This round lid knob cover will fit both a raised knob, and a flatter knob.

MOD Oblong Rose-Trimmed Lid Knob Hot Pad; Castle Rock-WA

MOD HOT PAD PATTERNS~4 sizes; 4 different designs

MOD TEXTURED HOT PADS SET; Castle Rock-WA

These textured med-, large-, & sm-sized hot pads are more rectangular, than square, in their finished shape. Sometimes a rectangular hot pad is needed - where a square would either be too big, or too small.

The extra large Rectangular Hot Pad is my own design that I worked up for the first time, the Fall of 2025 - while in Coalinga-CA.

The hot pad colors don't exactly match in coloration, but … they suit me 👌

MOD MED-SIZE TEXTURED HOT PAD

I worked up the medium-sized hot pad first, because that size seems to be used the most; the others were an after thought - alterations to the original pattern, but also occasionally used & needed for their sizing.
