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! PAT in VA/USA Nurse Ratched wrote: I've seen ones like that in the store, and it's not the one I'm looking for.

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.

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.

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. -- Ruth in Happy Camp "Nurse Ratched" wrote in message ...
