It’s interesting to me how many people saw strength in the potholders. They are so subdued compared to what I’ve been making, yet they poured out of me. All the observations about them are correct, it’s so nice to see my work speak for itself.
Scattered pieces but a unit when put together. Alone, each in our corners, but together we make a bigger picture that can hold a story to support us. Why not keep the potholders together this time and make them to a “support-quilt” ? Ida
So, you felt — dependable, strong, and able to get any job done. These just show yet another side of you in contrast to the streaming, dream, umbrella pieces.
Take comfort in knowing that things are going to get better. You need the downs in life in order to appreciate the UPS.

Well then I guess you were feeling beautiful!!!
A bit subdued with a splash of colour?
I am definitely interested in purchasing manly potholders as presents for two men in my life.
I see a change of season,a new creative thread,strength,certainty,and nine bold man potholders. Great work!

I see some tweed. I think any man would be proud to use those hotpads to yank some roast beast out of a hot oven on a brisk fall afternoon.
A high compliment John, thanks
Angular, but organized. Nice color balance…productive. We all need to be that way sometimes.
Really nice potholders Maria. Good work.
Wonderful!
Now THAT would make a beautiful quilt the way you have them all laid out together!!!!!!
The sum of them is greater than the parts, Maria. It must have been a rainy day there.
They look handsome, sturdy & strong! is that the type of day you had?
I love them! especially all together, would make a great lap quilt for my husband (hint)!
Peace,
Sandra
