My guild had their first in person meeting over the weekend. Maria organized a swap as a fun thing to welcome everyone back. I joined and was assigned Maria who wanted potholders.<\/p>\n

Maria’s potholders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Potholders are almost the last thing I would consider making. When I use potholders I want them to protect my hands from the heat and I have not found that homemade potholders do that. Still, Maria wanted potholders, so I made potholders.<\/p>\n

I had some Insulbright on hand, so I used that in addition to two layers of batting. The sandwich was super fat. I didn’t want to do very much thread sinking, so I didn’t quilt it as much as I could have, but they turned out pretty thin in the end. I hope all the layers will protect Maria’s hands.<\/p>\n

She also wanted lime green. Since I made her a pillow before, I decided to stick with that theme and use the same block<\/a>. I had to redraw the block in EQ8, because I couldn’t find my block from the swap. The proportions came out a little different in this piece, but I think they still look good.<\/p>\n

I didn’t think about a hanging loop until it was too late to put one on. Oh well.<\/p>\n

I added in pink because I like pink and it made the potholders look cheerful and celebratory. The theme of the swap is Celebration! so the colors fit. I made a gift bag in the same fabric as the binding. The gift is ready to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
