I hope you all had a great week. I hade a very productive week. This week I made a quilt top, a jar carrier, and two pot holders. I am also sorting through my scrap stash which includes 1/2 yard or less fabric. This size does not wrap around my comic boards for sorting fabrics. I do cut strips and squares from new stash so I have more variety. Scrappy quilts are not always made by me with scraps only. I do use some of my stash, but I seldom buy new fabric, unless it is for the back of the quilt. I need to iron my quilt top and drop it off at the long arm quilters. (The Master's Quilt Shop in Downs, Kansas)
Have you noticd that Melissa Gilbert from Little House on the Prarie has an on-line store that sells home goods and clothing. I saw a jar carrier on that site. I have a pattern like this for a casseroe carrier made the same way. I don't know where it is, but I will eventually find it. In the mean time, I made one and it turned out fine. I may want to increase the square by another inch. I made some apple butter and other goodies around Christmas. It would be handy to carry a jar to someone for safe passage. It would make a great gift, but many people do not can or place goodies in jars.
Thank you for viewing!
