Over Thanksgiving my mother-in-law spied a microwave bowl potholder that my sister-in-law had made for me last Christmas. She hadn't seen one before and really liked it. These are great easy gifts to make, so I sewed some up for her. It's difficult to pick fabric for other people, but I think she will like this choice, which is an out of print Moda line called Mistletoe Manor by 3 Sisters. A co-worker of mine gave it to me over ten years ago and I always liked it but didn't know what to make....I'm glad I finally cut into it!
Hope everyone is not too stressed about finishing up your secret sewing! If you would like to make these yourself check out this tutorial by Karen Church.
Linking up with crazymomquilts, sewfreshquilts, and Needle and Thread Thursday.
Such a thoughtful gift, I am sure she will cherish them.
