Casserole Dish Hot Pad- Quilted Gift For Christmas
Today I’m sharing a free pattern for the perfect quilted gift for Christmas. A quilted casserole sized-dish hot pad.
I never seem to have enough room on the stove or enough of those small hot pads to set out all of my hot dishes on the holidays.
I was especially worried about it after we upgraded our countertops. I’d heard horror stories of things shattering or staining.
So out of necessity, I designed these quilted casserole dish hot pads. I’ve been gifting and using them for a few years now and figured it was time I shared the pattern with you! They make the perfect quilted gift for Christmas!
You can get access to the pattern by signing up for my newsletter here:
Materials Needed
- Scrap Fabrics
- Batting
- Insulbrite Thermal Batting
- Backing Fabric
- 1/4″ yard binding fabric
- 505 Spray Baste Adhesive
- Walking Foot
This pattern is so easy to make and super practical! Who doesn’t love a handmade gift that will actually get used and also clears out your scrap bins?
The pattern does call for Insulbrite. This material helps reflect the heat back up and away from your countertops. It is not microwave-safe as it does have metal woven into the fabric. You could replace this with a second layer of batting but I can not promise it is going to be as heat-resistant. You could also leave the second layer out and use these as adorable placemats!
You’re are welcome to get creative and customize this as you’d like! It’s super simple to size this up or down. Just measure the casserole dish you’d like this to work for and cut your batting to a few inches larger. The pattern I’ve written is perfect for a 9″x13″ dish. You can also customize it by using wider or skinnier scraps depending on what you have in your bins.
I’ve even used this same concept to make matching hot pads! This set was donated to a local charity auction. I just love how bright and springy it is!
I hope you love making these hot pads as much as I love gifting them to friends and family! You can download your pattern by signing up for my newsletter here.

Thank you so much for this tutorial and pattern! My boyfriend just got me a new sewing machine for my birthday (I had previously been attempting to use the machine my Mom bought in 1996 that is in serious need of a tune-up) and this was the first project I did on it, and my first time quilting. It came out great! I made it with some Autumn-ish fabrics for Thanksgiving and did some matching potholders to go with it. Can’t wait to bring them out every year đ

What fabric did you use for the hot pad in the first picture?

Thank you for sharing this pattern. My daughter has wanted this for Christmas for a few years, hope I can get it done this year. It was sad that a scam site posted your pattern image on Pinterest but even with your watermark being so tiny it was still easy to eventually find your website, yay for watermarks!! It would make a nice set to have one for every season. This will look so much nicer than a folded dishtowel to protect the countertops. Thanks again, you are so kind!
