Malka at a Stich in Dye hosted a potholder swap last month and she paired Susan at iamchickenfoot and I together.
Here's what I made for Susan:
Susan requested red and aqua potholders, so I dug through my stash to find fabrics that fit the bill. I quilted the log cabin and batting together and then sewed the front to the back pillowcase style.
Susan made me this cute hexagon trivet. It matches our kitchen and dishes perfectly.
Now I just need some fresh flowers to throw into that pitcher.
She even sent an adorable little log cabin pin cushion. Isn't it darling?
You can check out the rest of the projects for the swap in the flickr group here.
The potholders you made are beautiful! And wow, you got an awesome one back. Lucky you!

I love that print fabric! Seems that it will be popular this season. I have fiesta too, though I am trying to not buy anymore.
