Charming Halloween Potholders for Your Kitchen from Made By Marney

My HOCUS POCUS potholders were designed to be used as an oven mitt, as well as a potholder, or a hot pad. I keep mine hanging on my microwave for easy access, but they are almost too cute to use!

Here is my Christmas version of the double potholders…SANTA CLAUSE POTHOLDERS. I am in love with these Jolly Old St. Nicks!

Here are some of my other popular Halloween patterns…

Cute Critters to Paper Piece from Made By Marney

For the past year I have been featured in American Quilter. Every issue has one of my paper pieced block patterns, and a link to a helpful video on paper piecing techniques.

Which Witch is Which? from Made By Marney

I’ve just designed two new witch blocks just in time for Halloween…

This is such an easy pattern…using a striped fabric for Wanda The Witch’s hair makes it look like it has lots of texture. Wanda has such a beautiful wonky nose! Very witchy indeed!

My Goofy Witch has 2 sparkling teeth and a giant wart on her nose. Wouldn’t it be fun to make potholders from these two lovely witches? Which witch is which????
