Grain pillows (filled with grain to heat up in the micro/oven or use as cold pack when stored in the freezer) with a design from Urban Thread. Quick stitched and a nice litte gift :o)

cute!

I see that some of you use grain. some rice. I use corn. At this time of the year it can be purchased for feeding deer and a large bag makes quite a few heating pillows. I use flannel for the bags which I leave plain but then decorate a removeable cover that can be washed when necessary.

As long as you don't heat it too long otherwise you might get popcorn! he he he! Love Chris

For the bigger one I also make a cover but these are just 5x5 and made as a quick little gift for some good customers ;o)
Chris that is what makes me wonder too: When does it make "pop" inside the heatpads with the corn *lol*
In the links down further there is a pic of all the different fillings we use here in Germany. you can see there how big the difference is in the size...

What a lovely gift!
Hugs, Lidia

Nice work! Denise

It is adorable! I hope you didn't use poly thread though in the microwave. I love the deer design, looks like you did an excellent job.

For those who need more information about the filling look in the post under the link (there is another link included in that post).
Please don't take spelt cause that can get too hot and burn (in contrast to the full grains).
Greetings, Bettina

great idea lamp Queen:):)Hugs

What a pity they don't glow in the dark *lol*

Die Kissen könnte man auch mit Kirschkernen füllen, oder? Guss aus Eglisau, Schweiz.

Könnte man, aber die sind mit 13x13cm fast bißchen klein für die großen Körner. Deshalb nehme ich Weizen- bzw. Dinkelkörner oder Traubenkerne (für Babys, die sind leichter und feiner).

super gute idee

sehr schön

Pretty & practical 2 of my favorite things. Hugs & **Loralye

Looks nice.

Agree, lovely gift.

Cute as most don't bother to put designs on.

Great idea for the Farmer and Artisan Market Holiday Fair! I can use small fabric left overs and experiment with my new embroidery patterns! I use rice when I make them (but usually put it in an old sports sock for home use! LOL).

These are cute

I really love this idea, what time of grain due you use?

What does "time of grain" mean? Sorry I'm not a native speaker :o)

I think that is a typo and is type of grain did you use?

Great job on the bags.

great job

Great work Bettina. Hugs Marg
