Hearts on Fire Blog Hop

Another fun blog hop has been organised by Carol - this time Hearts on Fire.      The rules are

Make something with a heart in any color, BUT NOT RED...get creative!
It can be big or small, in a quilt, a bag, or whatever.


What to make was the next question.  After doing some research via Pinterest and going back through some projects that had been bookmarked over the years I found what would be appropriate - heartshaped and could be any colour.    A pair of matching heart shaped pot holders.    I used the backing fabric as the trim on the front and for the hanging loop as you can see below.  


It did occur to me that if ever these hearts were on fire it could end up being a disaster in the kitchen.  

To see more Hearts on Fire head on over to the following:
