Quilted Leaf Potholders {Tutorial}

I was undecided about writing up a tutorial for these, but I received a ton of emails asking me if I would after posting my original leaf potholders two weeks ago.  I had made three for myself, but really wasn't up to making any more.  However, when someone asked me to make them a pair?  I finally had a reason to make some and take some pictures for you!


**********UPDATE*********
 I have finally been able to create a .pdf on Craftsy for this tutorial.


Supplies

Fabric scraps (preferably strips with lengths approx. 14"long)
2 Batting pieces (10"x12")
2 Insul-Bright pieces (10"x12")
1 Fat Quarter (backing fabric)
1/2 yd fabric (binding fabric)
Ruler/Rotary cutter
Thread
Sewing Machine

I had some quilter friends that said "Thanksgiving Host gift idea!".  And I totally agree!  Too bad I am the hostess this year?  I also think they would be great as a housewarming party gift if the family was moving in at this time of the year, and there is always the newly married couple!


Please, please, PLEASE do the right thing and tag or link back to me, my blog, or Craftsy site if you post pictures/blog/sell the potholders.

  7. I'm sure this is probably obvious to all but me. I guess all thread, fabric, and batting must be cotton.

    1. GREAT question Karen! I normally am not a stickler about materials, but on this project, I would recommend cotton materials. Some nylons and mixed media fabrics could melt from contact with the heat.

  19. Can use the template, etc. and substitute the strips of fabric with NFL football fabric to make a football potholder by straightening out the one side that isn't straight and putting the loop at the top end point instead of leaving it off sides .. Just a suggestion to make similar to the ones I am making up using local NFL football fabric to make same... I hang mine off of one of those banana tree holders to display same on my counter, next to my stove for display and to grab quickly to use.
