Here we have an assortment of lovely potholders made entirely from my stash. I made these for my cousin when she moved into a new place. She got one pretty quickly, but these other five have lingered in my apartment for some time now. When I finally completed them this summer I decided we were closer to the next Christmas than the past one and so I sent them (late) to her for Christmas 2008. I used a batting specially designed for handling hot materials and I quilted these on my machine.
This was my first experience trying to quilt on my machine and I didn't have the proper foot for it until a few weeks later. I think it could have gone much worse; the print hides the mistakes nicely. I think they will be very utilitarian and will serve their purpose well and provided a great learning platform. How's that for a PC way of saying "Wow, I'm not good at that at all yet."?
