Thank you so much for your fabric shelf block love!! Each and every one of
your comment made my heart sing! Apparently I am not alone loving seeing
fabrics on the shelf! Today I want to show you this potholder I whipped up for my friend's
birthday. The ice cream dish pattern is one of the Dishy Treats (August pattern for the
Super Penguin QAL available here). My friend liked the patterns when I showed them,
so I thought she may not mind receiving a potholder with one of the patterns
showcased on ;) This potholder came out together very quickly!
I basically paper-pieced the ice cream block first (no changes to the size was made),
and quilted it with warm and natural cotton batting and quilting weight cotton backing.
Then I wrapped the bottom edge with a single fold bias tape (1/4" width finished).
For the backside of the potholder, I quilted insulated batting with cotton fabric on
both sides which was trimmed to measure 6 1/8" x 7 3/4". After basting the quilted
ice cream block on top of it, I bound all four edges around with the same bias tape.
Done! I'd love it if you made yours!

It is large enough for Joe's big hand too!
I made it in the hope that the iciness of the ice cream will keep her hand cool and
nice and will prevent any burn from happening ;) I very much recommend making
this potholder if you have a friend or two who would like a potholder gift!
It makes such a quick yet unique handmade gift!

On the back side, I used my hand-carved alphabet stamps to add her name.
I hope you are all having a great weekend!!
P.S. Thank you to all of you who joined the SP QAL group and
have shared your lovely projects there!!! I always take a look there
when I just want to smile!
Your patterns are sooo cute! Love them,

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely gift, such sweet stamps too!
ReplyDeleteReally neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool gift!
ReplyDeleteVery cool design!
ReplyDeleteHaha, when we moved here and didn't have any potholders, I just quickly grabbed a set from the ¥100 store. Yeah, already falling apart and not very protective from the heat! I keep saying I should get some of the insulated batting stuff and make some more, but never so! I promise next time I'm at Yuzawaya I will try and find it!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and way too cool to use on grubby pots!!

ReplyDeletei had some mint chocolate cookie ice cream tonight. it was delicious and definitely not on the diet, but worth the cheat nonetheless! i love this pattern my friend, it is adorable!
ReplyDeleteSo so cute ayumi. Much cuter tan any potholder I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute potholder, I love it :) as a student I used to not cook a lot cause I didn't have the good tools, but then my mom bought me a pair of potholders with some very nice designs, I still have 1 (my dog chewed the other one....)
