Thank you for this site. I am in a potholder swap and I think I will use
this.

I've seen ones like that in the store, and it's not the one I'm looking for.
The one I want isn't a long, two-handed thing. My impression was, it was a
regular-size potholder, but with two pockets on the back: one for your fingers
and one for your thumbs. I wasn't entirely satisfied with my re-creation of
it, so I was hoping a could find a "real" pattern.

Thanks for trying, though!

Ah, one of those! I have one that a quilter buddy made me. She
calls it a microwave pot holder, but I use it for a trivet and
for regular cooking too. Shh! It is a heart shape .... 9" across
by 8" tall (point to cleft.) Susan made the heart and quilted it,
then made two 'pockets' and quilted those, and bound the pocket
edges. Each pocket is almost half a heart (right half and left
half.) She then pinned the pockets to the heart, raw edges
together, and bound the entire construction, adding a little
hanger loop. Clear as mud? Need a diagram? Just let me know!

Hi Pat,
May I use that also? It sounds quick and simple. Just what
I need.

Credits go to my friend Susan! I should add that it would be a
good idea to rough cut the pockets first, baste and try this out
on your own hand. You might want it larger or smaller, or with
slanted pockets or ???
Glad you like the idea though. PAT in VA/USA

Hi! Carla here,
My daughter gave me two. (One for each hand) She bought them on a trip. I
use mine all the time..keep them right on top of the microwave.
They are really handy to reach in and pluck out hot bowls.
If anyone wants to contact me off list..I can draw around mine and send you
the outline, then you can figure out what designs or how you want to quilt
it.
Mine is just a patterned material but is quilted a teensy little bit to hold
the batting in. Really not much sewing involved and would make great
Christmas gifts.
I plan on making a few myself.
Carla

That's what I thought you meant! I've never seen a pattern for it--never
even wondered how it was made (and no longer own one). As I recall, it was
like an oversize mitten with the "thumb pocket" inserted on one side.
