The Potholder Series: Moccasin Nose

The silliest potholder you've ever seen is this "Moccasin Nose" potholder, made of hand-dyed fabric (by me) and then sillied-up with a reproduction Depression-Era flour sack print. So atypical that Google will have a hard time figuring out what advertisements to put on the page with depression-era moccasins, noses and hand dyed fabrics.  The Potholder Series continues, so stay tuned for tomorrow's mystery.

Color Burst Paris, a Funky Potholder

Today's wee little piece of fun artisan potholder is called Color Burst Paris.  Or, if you wish, Colorburst Paris.  The Paris print at lower left is a reproduction fabric from the Drepression Era.  And that gorgeous piece of color in the middle is one of my hand-dyed pieces.  These are for sale at my Etsy store, so stock up in time for The Cooking Season.

Potholder Of The Buena Vista Social Club

Here's a cheery unique potholder from hand-dyed cotton and lined with heat-resistant batting, for your next meeting of the Buena Vista Social Club.  But you do not have to play salsa in order to enjoy it. 

Blue Pool Potholder

Today's delicious lil artsy potholder looks like a black and white striped air mattress on a cool pool.  Visit my Etsy store:  Island Retreat to see more.

The Potholder Series

Someone has asked to see my potholders.  Many are online at my etsy shop.  For the next few days, the daily blog will be simply Potholder of the Day. 

Steam Punk Quilt Top

Today's post is a fun quilt top that I made in late October.  I found steam punk image fabric and designed the remainder of the quilt around these nice pieces with themes of time and travel.

I was attending the Governor's Water Conference and took my sewing machine, so I would have something to do in the evenings.  When I travel without Dennis I miss him, so quilting is something I can do while I am alone.

This fun quilt is just a top thus far, and can be made up with any solid or print backing in Standard, Queen or King for $400.00 complete.  It can be custom quilted with names, initials, secret messages and the like, in any color(s) of thread.
