Potholders

Tomorrow my friend has her birthday and along with a cooking book I want to give her a nice little self made  present, so I made these colorful potholders for her. I found the idea for the potholders here, at a blog called Haak en Smaak. You can find the pattern here.

    I love the pattern for this potholder. It reminds me of the ones my grandmother had when I was a child. I have pinned this for future reference. Thanks for sharing

    That is too cute to use as a potholder! I think I would hang it up to enjoy those vibrant colors.

    Popped in from Pink Saturday.

    Love the punchy hues as peacock tail meets art deco vibe of the feel of this beautiful potholder. Great work on it, dear Liz, I bet your friend is going to adore it as much as I do.
