No More "Too Hot to Handle"

You know when the stars align and everything clicks?

After saying for years I would make myself a potholder I finally did.

I have needed one for YEARS.

I saw Kimberly Jolly doing a tutorial on the Lori Holt paper piecing Economy Block.  Oh it looked like so much fun.

I don't know how to do the link - but you can search YouTube for it. 

Behind the Seams: Lori’s Holt’s new Economy Block Foundation Paper Tutorial, and more!

First I had to find some Cute and Fun fabric. 

Yes, little ladybugs will do.

I don't usually paper piece. So I had to do a lot of "unstitching" and I even cut off one of the triangles!  Oh Dear - that was another "redo". 

But in the end....Happiness!

 

I used two squares of insulbright batting. I do hope that will be enough.

Such a little square to put binding on. I didn't know where to start!

Binding on - now to flip it over and hand stitch it to the back. 

All done! And why did it take me so long? 

Happy Stitching,

Linda
