Thanks, friends, for all the kudos and interest in my project. It warms my heart! This project was shown at our local “Creative U” on two separate occasions. Later, I found that I had purchased the pattern twice. My DD loves to make pies, so I thought they would be perfect for her. Of course, my other DD should have some . . . and a DFriend . . . and myself . . .
Susansomethings ~ Your DD’s cake is wonderful!
Here’s a link to the pattern I used:

If you can’t find the ric rac locally, you can order it here:

The pattern just calls for the ric rac sewn on flat, but I folded it in half and liked the look better. I “faced” the insulbright towards the top, so it’s more of a hotpad than a potholder.
Also, the “strawberry” is really raspberry.
