The inspiration for this collection of potholders started with a flower, a Marimekko Flower. The flower was on a white background with a bit of careful cutting & stabilising it now sits on a patched black n white background. With top finished, it was time to sandwich the top with a layer of Insul-Bright, a layer of cotton wadding and a piece of cotton fabric as the back layer.
The layers are held together with several rows of stitch; it was then time to cut my stitched piece into a circle shape. Tracing around a bread n butter plate is an excellent way to get a uniform shape. The edges are finished with a red & white striped bias. Using fabrics from the stash, I sewed a few more, making a collection of useful/decorative potholders.
