Potholders, like fingerprints, are individualistic. No two are alike, and they are streaming out of the Studio Barn for diverse points around the country in time for Christmas. The ugly potholder is happy in Northern Colorado, I’m told and today Maria got a batch of clothes and fabric’s from a daughter (the clothes belonged to her late mother) who wanted the material made into potholders for members of the family. An interesting use of fiber and fabric.
