“Just washed my potholders as I’ve done many times. Every time I do I think how wonderful they come out and smooth back in shape and that I ought to thank you.”
This was the email I got from Lynn.
I always encourage people to use my potholders, although often people hang them up and they never see the edge of a hot pot or pan.
But they are functional art. About bringing beauty (and sometimes meaning, depending on the potholder) to the everyday.
So thanks Lynn, for letting me know. I love to see my potholders put to work and bringing some extra color to your laundry room for a little while as they dry.
I bet you would enjoy the short story “Everyday Use” about a family that is split regarding the use of quilts. It’s by the amazing Alice Walker
I’m going to read it Tricia, thank you, it does sound like something I’d like.
