Farm Girl’s Potholders

I’ve been doing a little sewing from Lori Holt’s Farm Girl Vintage book that I bought this past summer. In retrospect I think I subconsciously bought the book to make potholders. The six inch blocks with an added border of background fabric are just the right size.

It’s a cold and cloudy day here in Saskatchewan so I didn’t dawdle taking these photos !

I think the neighbours heard me groan when I saw that the hst’s on the feed and seed block were 1.5″( btw – the closest neighbour is a mile away) Once you get all the cutting done though, it’s quite enjoyable to sew all the little pieces together. I had a stack of small paper plates and I sorted the pieces onto the plates as I followed the cutting list.

Maybe I’ll get around to one of the many quilts in the book in the new year.

Thanks for having a look. I hope that those of you that celebrate christmas have a very merry one and to everyone, I wish you peace and joy always 🙂
