I had fun making the new ones. I went crazy-patch style and then zig-zagged over the top of the seams the way I've seen Zoë do. I added some handstitching in red perle cottonfor sturdiness and the love of handwork.

Out With the Old, In With the New
I had a pair of greasy brown hotpads that were falling apart and would not wash clean anymore. I got the idea to replace them, but alas, not in time for all the celebratory meals we hosted over the holidays. I'm sure I was the only one who noticed.

ReplyDeleteHow cute and bright, great for winter :) You could sell something like that on Etsy too :)
ReplyDeleteI love the deep blue! These are beautiful. If I were you, I would get a little thrill every time I used them. I've had some scraps out, looking for a particular shade of blue. This would be a good time to make a small crazy quilt hotpad.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWell of course I love those pot holders :) well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty..Love the polka dot fabrics mixed in..
ReplyDeleteYour new pads are lovely, and believe it or not, I think the old stained one's are as well, (I like that they have a history to them, and look like they have stories to tell!)
