These handmade pot holders are pretty enough to use on your dining table and completely functional for the kitchen and handling fresh from the oven dishes! Protect your hands, countertops and furniture with these sturdy, easy care mats. Sometimes I add a hanging loop on the back (refer to photos to confirm) so that you can hang them as part of your decor too! I use leftover scraps of fabrics to create these patchwork potholders. Sizes vary somewhat depending on pattern used. They will fall in the 8-9 inch square range (about 23 cm). Photos show the mats with a small size saucepan for reference. Each mat is constructed with two inner layers, one is regular quilt batting and the other is a thermal batting called Insul Bright. This makes a thick, sturdy hot mat that will last and handle all your baking and kitchen needs. Easy care, just throw in with your regular laundry. These are a lovely gift idea for a homemaker and for someone who loves to bake and cook.
