They came out ok. They cancelled the raffel so I gave them away. I need to practice on binding curves, but other than that I was pleased. Didn't take pictures, sorry, but here is the pattern I used.

I had forgotten about those!!! They'd make nice xmas gifts,especially for my DIL who is always taking covered dishes to work.Will probably have to quilt my own fabric though as i hardly ever see any nice double quilted fabric in my area.
Thanks for the idea.

Thank you for the link Beverly.

What pattern will you use Kathi? I see very little quilted fabric around here, so I will probably have to quilt my own also.

I've seen them made out of a square. I quilted mine and put that thermal type batting in the middle. on two opposite corners you sew a loop with a ring in it. On the other two opposite corners you sew a strip slightly longer then your square. Connect the strip on both corners (opposite). Once you put in your pot or pan pull the fabric strip through the two rings and it becomes the handle. It was very easy and a good way to use up scraps.

I don't know Janice.I'll have to look thru my patterns and see if i have one.I probably do,will let you know.

Hi Janice, I have a great casserole cover if you would like to measure and try to make a pattern, Jenny (I would even help you!!)

I made this pattern during the summer and it turned out great-in fact I used it on Friday to take a casserole to school. I did the monogramming on the front then added an iron-on apple since my machine doesn't do fancy embroidering. Here is the link for you:

Hmmm...Jenny, That sounds like a plan. Now that I think about it, I do remember you having a great casserole carrier. Didn't your MIL make it for you???

Janice

Vicki, I like your pattern. It looks like there would be room to stow your serving spoon!

Here is a description of my casserole carrier - which I like because it can contain different sizes and shapes of casseroles, 9x13 pans, and round pie plates:

two parts, both 11" x 30" with quilted fabric on one side and vinyl or oilcloth on the other side, seam with 1/2" seam, putting 15" handles on the tops of one part, leaving an opening, turn, top stitch all edges

lay one on top of the other (quilted side to the outside on both), stitch 3 lines of stitching to sew the two parts together, leaving 4th side open to insert sturdy square of wood or other material to give a firm base

sew velcro on edges of inner parts that fold over to contain casserole.

Here is a pic of the carrier open:

And with the casserole contained in the carrier, handles up, ready to go:

Those are so nice. Thanks, Teresa, for posting pictures and direction for yours. I like that it fits so many sizes & shapes. I need to come up with one that fits my old Rival crockpot--maybe hexagon botton with 3 pairs of wings (one narrower than other two and straps be run thru sturdy loops on the other flaps to cover round sides and add stability because of its height? Or maybe someone knows of an existing pattern to use?

Teresa, I really like your carrier...We have a card party coming up and that would be nice to give as prizes....Now to find the time to make them.....
