This is a wonderful machine sewn potholder that would make the perfect gift! All the pot holders that we carry were made by women in Lancaster, PA. They are approximately 8" x 8" and have about 1/2" of filling to make them quite sturdy and useful. They have a stitched heart right in the middle that adds a nice country touch. Shipping cost is $1.25 each in the USA, $1.50 each to Canada and $2.50 each to all other countries.
