Help with a potholder ?
#1
Ok My mom's birthday is in the very beginning of August and I need time to ship them, so I need a decently quick project. Her kitchen is decorated with grapes and vines, so my question is...
Does anyone know where I can find a free pattern or two that would have grapes or something on them? I was going to embroider her some towels, but can't find a color I like, so this is my backup and I'm running out of time. Thanks!!

I couldn't find anything made in the shape of grapes, but why not use fabric with grapes and vines. This way you could do any of the free patterns available. You could even make the potholder by appliqueing grapes onto them. Just an idea.

When I taught sewing at a local quilt shop, I would have those new to quilting make a pot holder. The 9 patch is a good pattern & you can find fabrics to co-ordinate with her kitchen. I had a friend who collected anything frogs, so I found frog fabric.
