Quilted potholders are both practical and pretty. This set of two features rustic bowtie patchwork in colours of forest green, navy, burnt orange and gold. The lovely country colours can be displayed as part of your decor by the convenient hanging loops on the back.             

Size of each is just over 8 inches square. (21 cm)                           

Each potholder has two inner layers… one is regular quilt batting and the other is a thermal lining called Insul Bright.  This added layer makes a nice thick mat with added heat protection. Thick and durable, they will protect your hands, countertops and furniture when handling oven fresh dishes. 

For care, I always throw mine in with regular wash… simple, easy, no fussing!

Quilted potholders are the most practical and useful little quilts ever! An absolute necessity in the kitchen! At Momma Bears Quilts, we love to add a little luxury to even the practical and mundane, because we know how important a little shot of happiness is, even if it's over the little things!  

 

Features

I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.

The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.

Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.

The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!

Care

I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer. 

Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception.  So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.

Packaging & Shipping

I package all my items responsibly, first with a care for your purchase and then with a desire to reuse and recycle any shipping material I have around.
