Are you crazy for carrots? Well then this giveaway is for you!!!
Remember my friend Zoë who made me that fabulous postage stamp quilt a while back? Well not only does Zoë love to make quilts, but she also loves making potholders.
Zoë is always making something… Quilts, rope baskets, pot holders, aprons, you name it. If it involves sewing, Zoë can make it.
So when I saw these adorable carrot pot holders on her Instagram page, they were so stinkin’ cute, I just had to get them for a little wintertime {pick me up / garden therapy} giveaway.
Because seriously, who doesn’t love carrots!? {Weirdos, that’s who!}
In addition to the carrot pot holders I also picked up a few packets of my favorite Botanical Interests carrot seeds from my local nursery to give away as well.
Because HELLO, carrots are good for you. And brightly colored ones are fun to grow!

- 1 set of {2} carrot pot holders made by my friend Zoë

I grow carrots specifically for my dog, Farley! He loves to run around the yard with a fresh carrot pulled out of the garden. My favorite way to eat them is fresh, too! These potholders would be so fun once we install our new kitchen.
PS: Zoe finished a quilt my grandmother had started but couldn’t finish – it’s so well done! She also repaired an old quilt for me. She’s so talented!
