I am feeling so much love from so many different places this Valentines Day I wanted to share some of it.
So after my Valentine Massage this morning (thank you Jon) I came right to the studio and made this Heart of Scraps Potholder from some of the left over shibori fabric. And I’m giving it away. Let’s see, it’s about 12:30 now so leave a comment on my blog, if you’d like a chance to win this potholder, and at 12:30 tomorrow (Friday) I’ll announce the winner, which I’ll pick at random. Wishing you all a love filled day.
Maria, I would like to be entered in the potholder drawing. I loved the story of that fabric. Sounds like you are having a great Valentine’s day so far. My husband is a truck driver, so is not home a lot. He is up in Pa. today, actually. Trying to get his truck worked on. He sits and waits quite a lot. Wish he was here. Have a great day!!
Maria, I’ve been following Jon on his blog for years, and now you. Thank you for sharing your love and thoughts with us all!
What a wonderful way to celebrate this day!
What a lovely heart. Happy Valentine’s Day Maria!
Would “LOVE” to win the potholder..
Happy Valentine’s Day! This potholder is beautiful! I’d love to be considered for a chance to win it.
I would love to be so lucky to win this beautiful pot holder 🙂
Thank you Maria, for this chance to have one of your heart potholders…
Every woman’s dream would be to get a Valentine Massage! Since my beloved husband is in Heaven and not likely to do that for me, I would love the potholder as a remembrance of this beautiful sunshiny Valentines Day.
Oh, I can participate in this one : )
I hope I win! Love the orange!
This would really look good hanging on a special hook in my kitchen!
Another wonderful piece, too nice to actually use!
Beautiful, and so appropriate for the day.
Love the orange with the shibori, they go together well, and would certainly make a color splash in my kitchen. Take care, Heidi in Houston
Would love to have this Maria….what a special pot holder on Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Very lovely! And very generous of you to share!
Maria, I can think of no better way to extend the warm feeling of Valentine’s Day to embrace the whole year. How appropriate it is that your prize is a potholder, which goes in the kitchen, the heart of the home. I hope I win your pot holder. Nancy
Love the colors of the potholder above. Thanks for the Valentine wishes.
Oh! Yes please. I’d love to have it.
Happy Valentines Day to all at Bedlam Farm. What light shines from you all!

It’s really beautiful.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Maria! This is a beautiful potholder. I’d love a chance to win it. Thank you.
I also wanted to say that I was so moved by the story behind Olivia’s quilt. It is such a gorgeous work of art and will mean so much to her family. What a love-filled creation!
Love it!
Hi from Montreal, Canada.
I’m a faithful reader of both your blog and your husband’s, and would love to win the heart of shibori scraps potholder.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
You and Jon always remind me expand my horizons, my heart and soul. May the love of GOD be with you always. May the years be kind. May you always flourish and rejoice in our wonderous world. Chris
Beautiful, Maria! Love the colors against the bright orange.
Happy Valentine’s Day! I would love to win this potholder!
Love the bright orange. The heart reminded of a pair of colorful shorts I purchased in Toronto many years ago. Wore them out they were so comfortable. Thanks for the memories, and sharing your heart and art!
Oh, Maria, thank you for your generosity! If I win, I will give it to my best friend, Ellen.

What a special thing it would be to win the beautiful potholder with the Shibori fabric heart. Please enter me in your contest.
Maria – I love your work! It is fabric poetry. I especially love that it is so personal and that you care deeply about crafting something that comes from history and that will have a utilitarian as well as beautiful purpose. Thank you for that.
Happy Heart Day to you Maria! Your day is already filled with hearts and love and it is so sweet of you to share that with us! I would love to win this gorgeous heart holder and it would be extra special as Valentine’s Day has always been my favorite holiday! Hearts and love to you and Jon and all your fur and feathered Valentines!
I have enjoyed checking out your potholders and fabric creations.
Love the bright orange.
This is beautiful and would look good in my kitchen on the wall. I have orange accents in there. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Jon.
It’s too pretty to use, but I would anyway!!
Oh I love it! This one is extra special..please enter me!
Valentines day is a favorite holiday for me. I love hearts made of construction paper, heart shaped cookies and pancakes! It is just a heart felt day!
Beautiful potholder! I would love to win it. And BTW, today is my 33rd wedding anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Barb!
Happy valentine’s day!
Love your work, it has been working to heal me.
What a lovely bright love filled potholder! Thank you for sharing. It was very interesting reading about the shibori fabric. You have inspired me to try to reignite the artist within – I’ll be taking a mosaic tile workshop this Saturday with a friend. Can’t wait – even though I sometimes feel the “I can’t do it” doubts start up. I CAN DO IT!

I love the shibori fabric quilt and the potholder. Please enter me in the drawing. I read your blog and admire your art work all the time although I have never left a response before. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Jon and all the animals. I also read the Bedlam Farm blog every day.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you Maria! I love your heart of scraps potholders – there is a symmetry to them that is so appealing. Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful pot holder and I would love to win it; thanks you for the opportunity … so glad you had a wonderful Valentines Day !!
