My new "Potholders"
 
3 Attachment(s)
My inspiration goes to francie yuhas, one of our dear members here. Her post "quilt joke" gave me the idea. So off to ebay for some fabric, a few days waiting for it to arrive and a few hours sewing. I have 4 new "pot" holders

I hope y'all like them.

Thanks Pojo,
The machine is a replica of a Singer 99, my Aunt gave it to me before she passed away. The gnome guy is a cutie. :)

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of the original post you referenced. These are great.

cute joke and cute Potholders

Grannyh67 01-28-2016 06:15 AM

I have that same sewing machine, it is set up for a treadle, bought it that way and it is a beautiful machine. I never use it but would not take for it. Might just add a motor to it and use it, lol.

We'll shows how dense I am......read and looked at pic and said...huh? So went back and clicked on reference....OH! But, I still didn't know there was/is a print like that. Cute, for those who recognize the plant...unlike me, who did not.....and don't think my friends or family would either....but, would be interesting to see looks on faces if given a "potholder"........ Hmmm, April Fool around the corner! Did you say eBay has fabric? I just may......

ptquilts 01-28-2016 07:20 AM

Laughed out loud!! DH used to have an Egyptian style machine like that - used it so much he not only wore the decals off the black paint, he wore the black paint off the metal.

Love your "pot"holders. I once bought some batik fabric that I thought had pot plants on it but was assured by my children that the plant had too many leaves for it to be pot. I thanked them for the assurances and walked away shaking my head and wondered how they knew. One was in 8th grade and the other in 5th grade.

lynnie 01-28-2016 11:38 AM

oh, I really love these. great POT holders.

aronel 01-28-2016 12:07 PM

Love them!!

EasyPeezy 01-28-2016 12:15 PM

Great "pot" holders. LOL

gramquilter2 01-28-2016 12:21 PM

Think I have this fabric-didn't realize it was pot!

Quilty-Louise 01-28-2016 12:28 PM

I NEED to get some of this fabric! Since I live in CO and it is a
commodity that is sold here, I know that many people I know
would love something made from this fabric.

I also found this fabric on www.fabric.com

MOBRIDGE MOM 01-28-2016 12:38 PM

I work at a police department and want to make these for Christmas presents so bad!!! HaHa!!!

geosprouter 01-28-2016 04:36 PM

jmoore 01-29-2016 04:23 AM

Enjoyed your fun post ... the members on this board are so creative! ;)

Yooper32 01-29-2016 04:53 AM

Oh, good heavens! I must really be getting old, it took me several minutes to "get it". And to think, I lived 30 yrs. in CO.

Chasing Hawk 01-29-2016 10:31 AM

Thanks for the wonderful replies.

I am sending a set to my brother as a gift. :)

Clmay 01-29-2016 12:45 PM

These are really cool. I like them.

Jecreed 01-29-2016 01:57 PM

I'm from Colorado. They'd probably go over REAL well here! Cute potholders!!!

BETTY62 01-29-2016 11:52 PM

Great job on your "potholders" and thanks for sharing the the link to the joke as I missed the original post.

Mamia 01-30-2016 07:32 AM

Well I'm sure dense too. I didn't get it until I saw your post. Duh!
Thought the pot holders were very pretty so where was the joke.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

Nicely done! :)

Sewnoma 02-04-2016 12:46 PM

I love it!!

My mom is a dyed-in-the-wool hippie so I picked up some of this fabric awhile ago thinking I'd make something for her out of it, I bet she'd get a kick out of "potholders"...though she may take the name too literally and ask me where the zipper is! :D

Thanks for the giggle! I am sure my brother will do the same. I will get a phone call..........

"Thanks sis for the potholders, btw you forgot to add the secret spot."............LOL

Look the Pot Holders and the sewing machine I love it also

KarenSimon 02-08-2016 08:11 AM

I'm fairly up to date on the laws in Colorado. We are in Arizona and we have medical pot available now. I've asked my doctor and he says he will not write a prescription for me. I think it would take my mind off my troubles with diabetes. Maybe I should search for a different doctor.
