Fun Fri~ Old Looking but Not Old Potholders/Pads

 

I'm still having fun with my bag of tiny scraps.

I love the old vintage and antique look

of some of today's fabrics which these are.

 This hot pad is large enough for a casserole dish.

The green hot pad was made with

2 quilt blocks that were found in the scrap bag.

One block was an inch larger than the other.

So I created a self binding hot pad from the large block 

folded around the smaller for the binding.

Then I made 2 pot holders

from the beautiful antique scraps.

I call them antique, because I remember them from my childhood.

Vintage to me are fabrics I used when I was a young mother.

Potholders and hot pads were 

my common gift this past Christmas.

Seems like many folks have worn out pads and holders?
