This potholder had been stashed away in a cedar chest in my grandmother’s house for years. My mom found it while going through grandma’s things after her death and now has it in the rotating mix of decorative potholders she hangs from the magnet hook on the side of of her fridge.

The design is very interesting and I’d love to try to make one of these. It appears to be stitched over a foundation grid that is worked first and then filled in with a ruffled effect. I find this very intriguing and would love to hear from any of you who might know more about this. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern for something like this? Thanks!

Here’s a look at the back.
