8" x 8" trivets.
Wood frames hand crafted by Joe. :)
Stained glass, various kinds of mirror glass, ball chain, jewelry findings, black grout.
This is a variation of a “Rolling Star” quilt block decorative trivet or coaster. If used as a trivet I would not take a pan right off the stove and set it on it. Pour the contents into a dish and then set the dish on the trivet. It can withstand some water but it would be best not to let water stand on it very long. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. There are 32 pieces on this block, 16 diamonds and 16 triangles, all full size. It measures 5” across. To finish them, I use 1 coat of full strength varnish brushed on, and 3 coats of wiping varnish rubbed in by hand .
The type of wood is listed on the bottom from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Satinwood” from Brazil (a very pretty yellow wood), “Purple Heart” from Central or South America (a very bright purple wood) and “Oak” from Missouri.
On the bottom I signed it, listed the wood, and dated it. After the date, the words “Foot Cut” let you know I made it on a foot powered table saw.
Put together with a pine frame from the craft store, and a hand full of wine corks collected over the last few years...

Size: 6.5" L X 6.5" H 1/2" thickness
Funny story: Each side of this potholder should have 12 sections. I didn't realize until I was sewing them together that I made one side too big and one side too small. That's what I get for watching TV while crocheting!

Boethius: On the Consolation of Philosophy (with commentary by Nicholas Trivet). Manuscript: Italy 1385. MS Hunter 374 (V.1.11): Miniatures of Boethius teaching students and in prison (folio 4r)
The Consolation of Philosophy was the most important and influential philosophical treatise of the Middle Ages. A great scholar, Boethius (c.480-524) was an important government official for the Ostrogoth king Theodoric in Rome. He was accused of treason in 522 for defending the rights of the Senate too strenuously, imprisoned, and executed in 524. He wrote the De Consolatione Philosophiae while in custody. In it, the allegorical figure Philosophia converses with Boethius, leading him from self pity to an enlightened, rational view of the human condition. Chaucer translated the work in his Boece, and it also pervades both The Knight’s Tale and Troilus and Criseyde, enriching them with a philosophical gravity.
In this manuscript, each of the five books of the Consolation is introduced by a beautifully floreated and gilt initial. The initial ‘C’ of Book I, shown to the left, incorporates a scene of Boethius instructing his students; below is a depiction of the author in his prison at Pavia. The volume was written for one Gregorius of Genoa. The scribe, Brother Amadeus, signs the work in two places; while modestly claiming to be the least of all scribes (‘ego enim sum minimus omnium scriptorum frater Amadeus’), he has produced a book of surpassing beauty.
The original Disney price sticker on the back says this was $1.25 plus tax. I'm not sure of the exact year on this, but I have never seen anything at Disneyland for $1.25, lol.
Package of old hot pads or trivets (called "Table Mats") by Dan-Dee. I'm guessing 1940's era based on the illustration of the woman on the package.
"Useful - Washable - Heatproof"
"Used under Platters, Percolators, Toasters, Pyrexware, etc."
This is a “Tumbling Block” quilt pattern trivet. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. There are 30 pieces on this block, 24 diamonds and 6 triangles, all full size. There are as many stars as blocks. At the side of each diamond is the middle of a block. At the point of each diamond is the middle of a star with 6 points. It measures 4 ½” across. To finish them, I use 5 or 6 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand.
The type of wood is listed on the bottom from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Hackberry”, “Oak”, and “Walnut” from Missouri.
On the bottom I signed it, listed the wood, and dated it. After the date, the words “Foot Cut” let you know I made it on a foot powered table saw.
The five pictures show the different look the one trivet can have as you lay it down different ways.
hot pad/trivet, mini-quilt, kitchen towel, needle book, coffee and a couple of extras. I hope you like everything, partner!
I thought I'd add production notes in case anyone is interested. (And to remind myself later!) I used an organic cotton & bamboo batting for both the hot pad & mini-quilt, and robert kaufman pure organic cotton solid in steel for the binding on both. The hot pad is machine quilted and the mini-quilt is hand quilted with gutermann hand quilting thread. Fabric lines used are ruby star rising, aviary, flea market fancy, katie jump rope, far far away 2, county fair, it's a hoot, farmdale, hope valley, modern meadow, kona navy around the cups, and I can't remember what the pea green solid is. I think it's a carolina chambray or moda crossweave. It is so pretty and I wish I could remember!
This wooden trivet has become a wildflower garden with stained glass, glass mini tiles, glass beads, and ball chain.
This has an illusion of sometimes being a cross with white ends, and sometimes being an X with red ends.

Still trying to decide which design to use for the swap. I think I know which one I am going with, but I can't commit yet. A little Craft ADHD will do that to 'ya.
Fun combining Japanese fabric, fabric from my stash, and vintage fabric from my grandma.
