    Default Swap gift idea

    Wow, I never thought making 24 little pot holders would have my shoulders hurting but I can definitely tell I am out of quilting practice after this weekend. I am so sore today.

    I joined a Christmas gift exchange swap and this is the idea I came up with to send. I had someone make me a couple of these little pot holders for a couple years ago and I absolutely love using them when taking hot lids off of a pot or skillet.

    I am presenting my hot holders to the swap players in a fat quarter instead of a wrapping paper. What quilter wouldn't like that, right?

    Thanks for taking a peak. Happy Quilting

    Pretty Christmas fat quarter! My friend just bought a set of those at a bazaar this weekend. She bought them for her DH to take hot things out of the microwave. She doesn't like him doing it with her potholders because always gets food on them. I guess you could say she bought DH his own pot holders!

    Real cute potholders. Wrapping them in fat quarters will like a bonus gift. Clever you!
