Let's Have A Giveaway!

I made a couple of autumnal/Thanksgiving themed potholders that I'm offering as a giveaway here on my blog.

Are your present potholders so dilapidated you'll be embarrassed to let your guests see them at Thanksgiving time?

Or have you been invited out for Thanksgiving Dinner and would like to take these as a small hostess gift?


The front of the potholders.


And the back.

They are machine pieced and machine quilted.  There's a layer of heat resistant fabric, along with a layer of batting, inside so you shouldn't worry about burning your little fingers while using them.  (Although, I did once try to take something out of the oven with one of my potholders that was wet.  Baaaad idea!)

The potholders are washable and dryable when needed.

This is Tuesday, the 6th of the month.  If you wish to have your name put in the hat for a chance to win these, please let me know in the comments section before Friday, the 9th, at 9 p.m. when my computer will be shut down for the night.

I'll draw a winner Saturday morning and post your name.

Even if you've never commented on my blog before (or comment regularly -- thank you!), feel free to enter your name for the drawing.  Anybody interested??

    I knit but do not quilt. Hope you are all OK up there in the Frozen North! We are getting some cold weather now also.

  6. Myrna - How sweet of you to think of your granddaughter and her first home! We're having warm weather (too warm for those of us who love winter and snow). Temps in the 40s, lots of grayness and rain, rain, rain. Well, saves on shoveling and plowing right now, I guess!

  8. What a thoughtful thing to offer to your readers. The best pair of potholders I ever had were given to me by a student for Christmas when I was an elementary school teacher. The family didn't have much, but the little girl's mother had made them for me. I still have them and use them 34 years later. I would love to have my name drawn for the beautiful potholders to use for Thanksgiving. CW from Iowa

  9. Ruth - You are included!

    CWfromIowa - I know what you mean about the smallest of gifts meaning so very much. And the fact that you've had those gifted potholders all these years. What a wonderfully good memory.

    Tired Hobby Farmer - Thank you, THF!

  10. Beautiful potholders! I should leave my name out of the drawing, though, because my husband would either burn one or permanently stain them both in no time at all. He loves to cook, but everything he uses to cook with has some sort of permanent reminder that he's been in the kitchen.

  11. Charade - You said you "should" leave your name out of the drawing . . . but just because they will get used (that's what they are intended for!) is no reason to not take a chance on winning them. Shall I put your name in for the drawing?? Come on, live dangerously!

  26. Rain - Many more names in the hat than I ever expected!

    Chicken Mama - As the names come in, I cringe thinking, "But there can be only one winner!" And feel bad about that. :o( I have no more Thanksgiving-themed made, but I think I do have a couple Christmas ones . . .

  27. Mama Pea, they are gorgeous! I already have some of your potholder (highly treasured!) so I almost feel guilty saying I'm interested in these. But I am!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Leigh - I'm so glad you entered. Besides, can anyone ever have enough potholders? I think we all need seasonal ones. That way they'll all last longer. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

  30. I've not posted on your blog before but am a faithful reader. I would love the opportunity to win this set of potholders. Unfortunately I lost all of my home made potholders to a house fire the beginning of the year. I am working to replace everything. Thank you for a lovely and informative blog.
