Santa Potholder
written by marieann
I made these little babies using quilt blocks. I gave them away as holiday gifts for my family and everyone loved them. If you start making quilt blocks and decide that you don’t have the patience to make a whole quilt, this is a perfect alternative.
Materials:
Fabric
Pellon (buy at a fabric store by the yard)
Heat resistant batting (again, at a fabric store)
Tools:
Sewing machine
Rotary cutter
Needle and thread (for hand sewing)
Instructions:
1. Make your quilt block. Whatever you want will work.
2. Cut the pellon backing and the heat resistant batting the same size as the block. Pin together.
3. Quilt the three layers together. I did a sweet octagon pattern.
4. Bind the pot holder. First, sew the binding to the front via machine, then fold the binding over to the back and sew by hand. If you are impatient, ask your mother to do it for you.
