Canning Jelly ~ Crocheting Teacher Gift

I added 3 ½ more pints of grape jelly to our cupboard.  I would like to try making sugar free jellies/jams soon also.



I finished a hot pad set for my 3rd grader’s teacher, and am contemplating making her a 3rd surprise one to go with it.


I hope the colors I used are well liked by her.  It was a special request from my daughter.

Sets such as these will soon go in my on-line "store" that has yet to officially open (Visit Pioneer Patchwork Homespun for a sneak peak).

Very nice! What type of stitch did you use for the hotpads?

I used a crab stitch, which is also called a reverse stitch.
