Holiday Pot Holder-November 7-Memphis

Saturday, November 7, 10am to 1pm, Memphis

Instructor: Deb Bautista

Here’s your chance to make a handmade gift for someone you love. Or maybe start a new tradition of sewing a little something festive each year. These pot holders are perfect for the holidays or for a hostess gift!

These pot holders combine your favorite blocks and complementary fabrics. Take your paper pieced or traditionally pieced blocks and make a useful holiday themed decoration.

In this class, you will learn to machine quilt your blocks to create a pot holder. The finished product will be bound using traditional binding all by machine. In order to save time in class, you will not round off the ends of the pot holder in this project.
