PATCHWORK POTHOLDER
patchwork potholder
If you're like me, you'll avoid having certain items in your house if the options out there just aren't so great. Take potholders for example- I haven't owned one in years. So you can imagine how pleased I was to find Kwilti's COOL and FUNCTIONAL patchwork potholders. Hand made in Brooklyn, each one features a unique pattern made from repurposed denim scraps, backed by handsome denim and ticking.
Each one is different and some contain intentional flaws.

Kwilti founder Julie Floersch's background is in fashion design, studying at F.I.T. and working in pattern making for J. Crew, Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic. She left the fashion world in 2005 to become an artist and designer in her own right, using the medium of quilted denim to create such things as curtains, pillows, necklaces and earrings.
Using discarded materials, primarily found denim for its haphazard and painterly qualities, I incorporate various structure-forming techniques into complex geometric repetitions, giving them a slightly raised, subtle third dimension. These intricate patterns are then assiduously interwoven, juxtaposing hand crafted traditional Americana and pop culture imagery to reshape the concept of quilt making as a purely 2-dimensional art form.
