This is what 1,084 potholders look like. Hundreds are bagged, tagged, and labeled, all packed up in boxes and ready to go! And hundreds more waiting to be bagged.
Thanks to the generosity of weavers in over 30 locations nationwide, the Thanksgiving Potholder Project has blossomed beyond expectations. As of now, weavers across the country have contributed a stunning 1,084 handcrafted potholders—each one a unique expression of artistry and kindness to be shared with families this Thanksgiving. And even more are on the way!
To celebrate this remarkable milestone, I invite you to enjoy this slideshow showcasing what 1,084 potholders look like, “From 0 to 1,084 in 49 days!”
Only 416 potholders remain to reach our goal of 1,500, and we’re excited to know that at least another 100 are already on their way to us!
