I kept thinking of the bag of red scraps that I had. Most of them giving to me by other quilters.
My first thought was to make them into a quilt. But then I found the stack of doilies that I’d dyed red a couple of years ago. They were in a tin box on my shelf. I had forgotten about them, but when I opened the box to see what was in it, I could imagine them as the center piece of a potholder.
So that’s where I began.
I made ten Red Chakra Potholders piecing the red scraps around the hand crocheted doilies.
The Red or Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine. It is our grounding, it’s our connection to the earth, to the physical world. It’s our foundation, the basics of survival.
Now I have eight Red Chakra Potholders for sale in my Etsy Shop. They are $25 each + $5 shipping for one or more. They are, of course, all unique, so you can see them all and buy them here.
