Quilted Pot Holder


Saturday morning I got up with a terrible cold. I was feeling miserable. I hate being sick! After resting for a while and taking some cold medicine by the afternoon I was feeling much better. So I decided to do a little sewing. I've been crazy about these dollhouse pot holders ever since Aneela Hoey talked about them on her blog and I just couldn't wait anymore to try to make one. The tutorial is from Freda's Hive and you can find it here.


It was so much fun picking out the fabrics for each piece of the block.


Here is a pic of the finished block.  The tutorial mentions using Insul-Fleece, but I didn't have any so I used two layers of cotton batting instead. I think this is going to be first of many pot holders I make. They are just too cute!

  2. Hi Martha -- Thanks again for stopping by my blog at apieceworklife.com. This potholder is very cute! Our local quilting guild is making potholders to raise money and I might have to make a couple like this to add to the sale. Thanks for the cute idea!
