If you have plenty of time you could cross stitch them too, Sue Fish.
you could start after Christmas and have enough by the end of the following year and you can draw your one pattern and fit the cross stitch inside it.

Some things I have made: criss-cross coasters with matching hot pads, embroidered kitchen towels, and holiday TP.

I tried to go to this website from here after I posted and it says it is forbidden. But if you punch in: How to make Potato Bags in on google it will come up with several different ones including this one.

I found this site that shows and tells how to make the Microwave Potato bag, also Keepsake Quilting has a pattern for sale in their new book that just came out this week. For mine it was a very simple one, had purschased one, measured folded sewed and was done. It's pretty similar to the one on this site.

Probly a dumb question but what is a potatoe warmer? I love the idea of casserole carriers!
It is an item that you use in the Microwave to cook potatoes/corn/or tortilla shells and keeps them good and moist. Not dried out.
Thanks for telling I had no idea, where would I find a pattern for something like that? Sounds like something I might want to try for some gifts.

Thank you so much, looks YUMMY!
Praline Pecan Crunch

16 oz box of Quaker Oat Squares (8 cups)
2 cups pecan pieces
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Heat oven to 250 degrees. Combine cereal and pecans in a 13 x 9 inch pan. Combine corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in 2 cup microwavable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well and Microwave for 1/2 to 1 1/2 minutes more or until boiling. I usually let mine bowl for 15 to 20 seconds longer. Stir in vanilla and baking soda, mix very well. Mixture will become caramel colored and very creamy. Pour over cereal and pecans, mix well. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Spread on baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Break into pieces. Makes 10 cups.

Enjoy!![/quote]

I hope this link works. Just found it on another thread. It's a short video on making very quick pot holders. They look good too.

With all these ideas, I need to get busy and do something. I've not been motivated until I keep seeing all these ideas. Thanks.
