I like to cook and unfortunately for my family I’m a messy cook. I’m always needing a new pot holder and I never get around to making one for myself – yet I have scraps of materials that could sink a battleship!

So today I’m a quilter on a mission. I’m going to source free, absolutely free pot holder, hot pad and Oven Mitt patterns for you and me to browse through and hopefully for me, to make a few for my dwindling and somewhat motley collection. Have fun!
