DIY-Amish Folded Star Quilted Hot Pad/ Pot Holder Video Tutorial
Being a Blogger I have the awesome opportunity to follow some of the best in the business when it comes to creating. These people are “artist’s” in the truest nature of the word. One of those people is Crouton Jacks and his Crouton Crafts. I stumbled across him 2 years ago and have been a fan ever since. He’s truly creative and one of the nicest men I know.
It’s an honor for me to call him my “Friend” as well as a mentor.
Crouton Jacks is also one of the best teachers. His style is calming. I say that because when I am trying to learn a new stitch. A pattern, make a cake or just watching so I understand the steps. I prefer his way. I’m a visual learner and sometimes I have to watch the video over and over to create my project. His style is calm and relaxed!! His latest video is a
These Hotpad/Pot Holders would be perfect for Mother’s Day, Christmas, Housewarming Gifts or I’m making mine for myself 🙂

Great idea Scarlet. I know I made a few as gifts and was blown away at how much they are treasured. I love your herb infused water. Yum!
That’s a great idea Scarlet! I hadn’t thought of teacher gifts! Thanks so much for dropping a line– we really appreciate the feedback!
Gorgeous! I need to get my sewing machine out again!

I highly recommend it Ellen. They are really easy and I gave a few as gifts and was so touched by their responses. Thanks for stopping by. I just love your site and read it often.
These are beautiful! I wish i knew how to quilt. It would be fun to have a set of these.
Hi Andrea. That is the beautiful part if you can sew a straight line you can do this one. The tutorial is amazing. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Love it! The blue one reminds me of Frozen!

Thank you so much Roberta! Blue is my favorite!
Very beautiful! I wish I could quilt! Love the tutorial though.
Thanks, Dawn – aren’t they fun?! Great gift item too. I bet you’d be great at it! – small quilt projects aren’t hard at all:)
I am always tempted to try this type of quilting project but I know that I would be addicted and end up spending hours on making so much. Nice work!
Hi Mag. It’s a great thing to be addicted too 🙂 I adore mine and made a few as gifts they are pretty quick after the first one 🙂
I am in the middle of making one of these right now! His instructions are great. I love both of his YouTube channels. He seems to be into the same things I am – cooking, crochet, and quilting…only, he’s good at it! I’m learning lots from him and think it’s fun. Not sure how he wrangles those pieces of fabric by fabric pressing only. I have to steam iron the triangles and stomp those suckers flat before I can do anything with them.
I’m still kind of technically challenged in finding info I need. Is there any way to contact him to ask a question or two? I just bought an old Singer and it looks like he has one too.
Thanks!

Just visited Amish country in Lancaster, PA and saw some of these quilted pot holders. I have made them in the past and am so glad to visit your site and get a refresher course on making them. Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial.
Your very welcome Connie. I love Lancaster. The talent from that part of the country always takes my breath away. I hope you come back time and time again 🙂
Do you know how I can contact your friend, Crouton Jack? I have watched his video for his crochet puzzle ball over and over and over and over and can’t get the second row to match what he is demonstrating or his written instructions. I’ve crochet for many, many years, and this has me totally frustrated. I can’t find anywhere on YouTube where I can contact him. Another viewer left basically the same issue asking for clarification, and there hasn’t been a response. Thank you for your helP!!
Sally I will pass this message on for you. He is amazing and I am sure he will love to help 🙂
