Farmhouse Potholders
I'm calling these a pair of pot holders, or maybe they are trivets, just to justify their existence really. Actually, their main purpose will be to add a decorative touch to my kitchen shelf.
That and it gave me the chance to enjoy a bit of fabric play and use some of my newer purchases. As I've mentioned before, I love these quick little projects. They're such a great way to experiment and play around with stitching, ribbons, lace and other such heart cheering things. A happy afternoon spent in the craft room and a nice result at the end of it.
Patchwork hexagons are always a winner, so that seemed like a good place to start. But one thing will lead to another and they say, so as I enjoyed putting the first one together so much, I thought I'd make another. You can always use things like this around the kitchen after all and they will brighten up my little shelf area beautifully too.
I think they have a nice 'farmhouse' style to them which I love. I think it's the introduction of a little brown, it seems to soften and warm the other colours. Yes, I enjoying a little bit of brown and grey in my colour selections these days very much. That and those teeny, tiny little checks, which I adore too.
