The hexagon medallion
project that has served as my therapy through a challenging spring and tortuous summer is
now a complete top. I have finished
appliqueing the center to the background.
Since this picture was taken, I have sandwiched it and taken the first
few machine quilting stitches.
I was in need of some instant gratification and also wanted to give a friend a thankyou gift. These potholders were the result. My potholders are made of the humblest of scraps with recycled terrycloth towels used for batting. They are meant to be used and abused, so I don’t bother to add hanging tabs. I expect them to be shoved into a drawer until needed, scorched on the grill, and perhaps, covered in spaghetti sauce stains. My only criteria for this pair is that they be made with fabrics that struck me as happy.
We have had a series
of showers over the last week for a total of nearly 3/4 inch. Temperatures have dropped below triple digits
and you can see the relief in people’s faces.
Our lakes are low and we could
certainly use some more, but we are ever so grateful.

looking great! the rain is welcome for sure and cooler temps here too - it feels good to be at 82-90 now compared to 92-100!!
The hexies look great
I'm glad you got some of that rain in TX.
I made lots of potholders in my teens and I always used terrycloth towels for the padding. It is what we had and my mother loved the potholders.
