I've got five new potholders for my kitchen,
constructed with batik scraps
and jelly-roll bindings.
I'm tired of the greasy feel of my old potholders,
and I'm hoping the tight weave of batiks repel that grease for a bit longer.
And this is what's inside:
two squares of this very worn out towel
which I bought for my first year of college dorm life 35 years ago.
The towels are threadbare, but my embroidered name
has held up well over the years!
I'm linking up with other Friday finishers at:

Who doesn't need more potholders? Great idea to use the old towel for batting. I just love that the added name has held on so long.
I need to make some potholders for myself, too. I never thought to use old towels as batting. Great idea!!
Keep us posted about how the batiks hold up in potholders, please.
Great potholders, and what a neat way to repurpose the old linen!
