Don't you just love that book, eddie? I got it recently too and have planned to make some of those butterfly potholders for my mil and my neighbor kitty. They both love butterflies. I was thinking I could make a topper for a towel holder out of one and make them a set.
I love the bright blue you sued for your hot dish pad. It is so happy. I don't see wonky anywhere, even after you pointed it out. We are our own worst critics.
Enyoy using your work, you can be proud of it. That was a good idea and great size for it. What is next matching table mats?
