The antique set of potholders that we found within a very worn and
tattered carrying bag is so unique a find that I decided to re-create them
with new fabrics. The original fabrics were muslin (now stained from age and
use) and 1930s style butterflies in complementary colors of blue and orange,
albeit faded from constant washing.
Your grandmother or friend may have used this to serve her favorite casserole or "hot dish" to a church or Grange supper, or to a quilting bee, thus our name, "Quilting Bee Potholder."
