Each pot holder is handcrafted individually. This is not a mass-produced item, and the individuality of each piece is part of its charm. The free-motion applique work is done on a trusted zig-zag sewing machine, while details like closing turned seams are hand-stitched. In some cases, a different fabric may be used, but it will always be a comparable color.

What you’ll find in my Etsy shop are beautiful, functional, and practical botanical designs for your home. As a textile artist, I combine applique, embroidery, beading, paint, photography, and other techniques to reinterpret nature’s lovely creations. Each piece is free-motion appliqued (no embroidery machines allowed), ensuring that every item is unique. Since I’m a practical soul, my designs are worked onto useful items like pot holders, pillows, table runners, tea towels, and more—bringing both beauty and functionality into your home.
