    Default My DD's brilliant idea

    My son in law has diabetes and has a hard time with feeling in his fingers & toes. They love the microwave bowl holders that I made them several years ago but he still sometimes burns his fingers on the hot bowl when it comes out of the microwave. She suggested that I put two together (crisscrossing each other) so there are no open spaces for your hands to touch. I made this one yesterday & it turned out so good. Now when he pulls the bowl out of the microwave his hands/fingers won't touch any part of the hot bowl. Plus everything is doubled...fabric...batting.

    Well done! I think you should call your new design microwave tulips.

    Thanks! Both bowls are stitched together as one so they won't come apart in washing.
