Potholder love...

Am I not totally lame if I post my pics of potholders while jamming to Justin Timberlake? Still lame? Oh well, I'll embrace the non-sexy. :)

I entered these in a contest over at Prudent Baby in the hopes of winning a sweet new sewing machine that does more than my current 3 1/2 stitches. I did not win. But I impressed myself that 10 years after graduating college I can still meet a deadline if I have to... or if the motivation is big free enough. :)

Pieced & quilted...


Backside...


Terrycloth with stripes is washrags from Walmart.  Ruffle on pocket.  Hand-made, hand-sewn binding.


Quilted back...


Pocket...


Oh yeah.  These are never getting used.
