With three weeks away from my sewing machine, I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Yesterday I made up this little Valentines inspired pot holder out of a fat 1/8th of heart fabric I found in my stash. I teamed it with some natural osnaburg.
Do you see the cute Eiffel Tower cookie cutter? Sarah spotted this last week in Tokyu Hands and it had to come home with us. She currently has a batch of Eiffel Tower cookies in the oven - can't wait to see how she decorates them!
I spotted the little treat boxes in Daiso, the 100 Yen Shop.
I quilted hearts on the back of the pot holder.
Et Voila!
Edit Feb 2013: We have now prepared a step by step photo tutorial on how to make our Heart Pot Holder pattern. You can find all the details here

This is really sweet. Where in Perth did you get the osnaburg?
Glad Japan was a blast. I could spend a day in Daiso and Tokyo Hands.

What a darling potholder. I love the shape and the fabric, and the quilting on back is the cherry on top!

I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on the Heart Pot Holder? I am a beginner sewer and I am shy about saying but I need instructions to sew a project.
Oh by the way, I love the heart potholder. I just found your site and I know I am going to learn alot here.
