My dear friend had a birthday recently and she is a baker. She always bakes birthday cakes for everybody and I wondered who was going to make hers. So I sewed her one. It is a trivet/mini-quilt/giant pot-holder thingy.
When the creative act takes over sometimes I forget to do some basic planning…like measuring, for example! This would-be pot-holder is now probably a trivet. But it says, “lovely baker girl” on it for my lovely baker girl friend. I like the ric rac raspberry filling and the crumpled ribbon frosting. (Don’t look too closely at the binding. I attached in about five minutes and didn’t even pin it so it is super wavy and crooked.)
Oh, and look at these strawberries:
I love that trivet! The stitched letters are a great touch!
Lovely pot-holder/trivet. And I am envious of your strawberries…mine are still small tight white things!
