Riffing on traditional Appalachian quilts, these beautiful, quilted hot pads are usable works of art. With vibrant colors and quirky geometric patterns, they are both modern and classic at the same time. Each hot pad is handmade made by Stranger Seams in the Paris of Appalachia — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founder Ashley Cole says she's inspired by the countless quilters who came before her and loves carrying on their tradition in fresh and creative ways.
