Look at those colors! 100 potholders will soon be on their way from the women who work at House Of Hearts in India.
Soma Seal, who created House Of Hearts, posted on facebook that the women love making them.
These are the same women I went to India to teach how to make potholders.
So it’s all coming together. Soon I’ll have them and be selling them right here on my website. The profits will go back to Soma and the women who work at House of Hearts. Helping them to earn a living and keep their families healthy and safe.
Soma started House of Hearts, which is in a couple of rooms in her house, to make sure some of the women in her neighborhood have work and can help support their families.
I loved working with them. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, we spoke the language of sewing. It didn’t take long at all for the women to figure out how to make the potholders. And now they’re coming to America!
I’ll keep you all updated and let you know when I get them.
I’m not sure you are taking early orders for these, maria – but I’d love to purchase two…let me know!
I’ll put you on my list Tara and let you know when I get them. Thank you!
How much will they be selling for? They look so beautiful.
they’ll be $15 each + shipping Susan.
Oh! Just look what your trip has manifested. This is a joyous pile. I will take a dozen and give them as gifts.

PS
My quilt is my favorite thing this winter. It has been the perfect companion to our Nordic Noir weekends.
That’s so nice to hear Ellen. And I’ll let you know as soon as I have the potholders. Thank you!
