Nessie, I can appreciate that. At the Quilting and Embroidery Expo this year I bought a Maxine potholder pattern, and made it. It is so funny (don't you just love Maxine quotes !?) . Instead of using it for a potholder, I have it hanging outside beside my front door! I laugh every time I come home!
