Potholders From The Scraps On My Work Table

I started the day by packing up all my painted bird Potholders that I sold last week and over the weekend.  I know I’ll be using that idea again, of painting the bird, then stitching around it.  Maybe in a fabric painting.

I often think of my potholders as sketches.  They can teach me a new technique or a different way of putting together colors and patterns.

After I got back from the post office, I worked on some more potholders inspired by the scraps that were left on my work table.  That’s why they’re all so different from each other.  I’ll probably make a few more tomorrow, or maybe I continue working on the quilt I started last week.
