PROJECT POTHOLDER

Back by popular demand, donated potholders are sold in the museum store, with the proceeds used to bring new exhibits to the museum. Last year, the potholders brought in over $6,000. No wonder the gift shop has requested that we continue Project Potholder for one more year!

The guidelines are:

• Make two potholders to be sold as pairs (they do not need to be identical)
• 6” to 10” in any shape
• Fabric should be 100% quilt quality cotton
• Batting should be 2 layers of cotton or wool, or 1 layer of batting plus 1 layer of insulation such as Insul-Bright©
• Include a hanging loop

Whatever the reason – use up your fabric stash, get together with friends, teach a new person about sewing, or just for fun – be creative!
