During my last week in Tennessee, in between packing and painting, I did a tiny bit of sewing. I decided my new apartment would need some new kitchen potholders! I used two different patterns from my two sewing books that were birthday presents: One-Yard Wonders and Amy Butler’s In Stitches. The fabric came from my stash. The pink cupcake fabric and brown polka dot material comes from Jo-Ann’s. The colorful stripes fabric was a clearance fabric at Hobby Lobby.
The Amy Butler one features wonky patchwork squares on the front. It is quilted with a diamond design and has a pocket for your hand.

The One-Yard Wonders potholder has a hanging loop and I free-motion quilted it.

I am pretty pleased and can’t wait to use them in our new place.
Love,

P.S. Maybe the cupcakes won’t look too terrible in our orange kitchen, there is some orange in this fabric…
