Appliqued Artichoke Pot Holder | Potholder | Trivet | Hostess Gift | Floral Pot Holder | Handmade Potholders | Hot Pad | Cottagecore

Handcrafted, original design. This 8×8 inch pot holder is appliqued with a beautifully detailed artichoke. With a name like Blooming Artichoke Herbary, creating an artichoke design was a natural choice—these plants are simply too lovely to ignore. A twill loop sewn into the back makes it easy to hang for storage or display. Lined with a double layer of 100% polyester needlepunch batting, this pot holder offers flexibility and excellent insulation. The back is complemented with a matching fabric, making it a stylish and practical addition to any kitchen.

Dimensions: 8×8″ square
Materials: Made from 100% cotton fabrics and 100% polyester batting
Care Instructions: Machine washable cold, dry low

Each pot holder is handcrafted individually. This is not a mass-produced item; the individuality of each piece adds to its charm. The applique work is done using free-motion techniques without any computerized assistance. Hand-stitching is used for details like closing turned seams. In some cases, a different fabric may be used, but it will always be a comparable color to maintain consistency.

In my Etsy shop, you’ll find beautifully designed and practical botanical items for your home. As a fiber artist, I use applique, embroidery, beading, paint, photography, and other techniques to reinterpret the beauty of nature’s creations. Each piece is free-motion appliqued (no embroidery machines allowed), making every item unique. Since I’m a practical soul, I focus on designing items that are both useful and attractive, such as pot holders, pillows, table runners, tea towels, and more.

About Blooming Artichoke Herbary:
My journey began with an unrepentant passion for plants and fiber art. I started a perennial nursery where I propagate and grow the garden plants I love. These same plants inspire my textile designs, blending the best of both worlds—an indoor and outdoor garden.
