The potholder swap

A few friends of mine had a great idea to start a friends/family craft swap. I had so much fun participating in a mug rug swap a few months ago that I loved the idea and put together a swap of my own. I decided to create a potholder swap and I had 8 people participate. I'm not sure about everyone else but I had a great time creating my potholders for my partner. I'm pretty sure everyone else had fun as well since I already have several requests for another swap.

For the potholders you had to make one that was inspired by your state flag and a second one tailored to your partners likes. Here are the potholders I made for my partner:

This is my AK state flag potholder. A blue and yellow star on a blanket of snow


This hexagon potholder was really fun to make and I loved how it turned out. I had never worked with hexagons before but immediatly fell in love with them and will be using hexagons again soon.


Just a few weeks ago I received potholders in the mail from my partner. She is from Hawaii and so not only did I get some great potholders (even a large bread potholder with hand pockets) but also some delicious Hawaiian chocolates.


Can't wait for another swap with these gals again soon...Who knows what we'll make next time, the possibilities are endless. And there is always room for more participants so let me know if you want to join the next one. :)
