Bear Potholders
These bear potholders were a gift for someone in our quilting-craft group who is going to be moving away.
There are lots of bears in this area, many times in the fall they are right in the middle of town.
I was called into work the day of the farewell party, so I had to rush over and deliver the gift and snack.
All work and no play for me! Not really, I only work a day here and there.
The bear pattern came from the book, "Block Magic, Too" by Nancy Johnson-Srebo. It is an excellent book for
picture block patterns. Best of all, they are not paper pieced. I avoid anything that involves paper piecing,
it's not a technique I enjoy. Other people make wonderful projects with that method, though.
Now I'm back to finishing a 30-year-old UFO. As soon as the binding is done, I'll post a picture of it.
