Our guild the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild (FVMQG) did a pot holder swap with the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guilds (VMQG). My swap receiver was Berene from Happy Sew Lucky. And Lucky for me after this she let me draw her spectacular stash!
For these pot holders I really wanted to try out something kinda like I did for the sketchbook project but with fabric behind it (minus the naked people). I borrowed this tea pot of my in-laws (bought at McKinnleys in Berwyn and made in Ireland as they always mention) for inspiration.
My pot holders were embarrassing late but Berene was very patience and understanding of why. So I figured she deserved two sets! Then of course with the whole hoopla of Christmas, it felt like forever until I got the darn things done and sent them off….
…er, I assumed they were done. I ended up sending off one pot holder with pins still in it AND it still had a needle and thread in it! How’s that for an exchange, here you finish it, ha, ha! I was slightly… well okay a lot horrified that I did that but Berene and I had a little laugh about it. I guess once I take a photo of something my brain declares that it’s done, whether really is or isn’t. Thank god I whipped up a little mustached cup cozy for good measure-phew!
