My “Little Friends Potholders” are made with fabric from a vintage 1960s quilt top. One square of the quilt had all these pairs of people on them. I cut them out and using more fabric from the same vintage quilt, made these potholders.
It’s the same quilt top that I used to make my Dog Potholders that I sold last week. The fabric speaks of the time the quilt was made. But these little friends, the relationship between the couples, seem timeless.
When I ran out of “Little Friends” I used a couple of jeans pockets that I had removed from their pants when I was making my November Snow quilt. I like that little wave of a line the stitches made. Like a hill or water.
You can see all of my “Little Friends” Potholders up close in my Etsy Shop. They’re $20 each + $5 shipping for one or more. Just click here.
I also have a few skeins of Bedlam Farm Wool still available and my magnets which are on sale for $1 each.
I love how no fabric is wasted. The jean pockets are splendid. Would you ever consider teaching an online class or tutorial on beginning quilt making?
Thanks Laurie, hmmm I’llthink of teaching an online class.
