One year I made potholders for every house on our block. Keeping it up with new neighbors as they move in. I keep a few in our camper and when we meet nice people I like to give them a pair.
We have a place in town that accepts gently used furniture & household items for distribution to those in need and I leave potholders there too. Last year I gave them 80+ pairs. Sometimes they save thin mattress pads not suitable for beds anymore & I can use them for inside. Not as beautiful as yours however.
I don’t knit, crochet, golf, bowl, play cards etc. but I love my sewing machine.
Like someone told me years ago: there’s plenty to do if you want to do it.
