alliedawn_98 Member posted 07-11-2007 02:50 PM I saw plans for sewing those someplace and I am planning to make some to include in Christmas gifts if I can find them again. Marian, they are like little pot holders with spices in them that release scent when you put your hot cup of coffee or cocoa on them. Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, etc. can be used.

citron Member posted 07-11-2007 03:11 PM I have one Andrea. I bought it because it has a lemon on it and my last name is lemon. I also have a matching one in a larger size for a hot casserole dish. I am glad you got one and enjoy using it. Lynn Posts: 1595 | From: heart of illinois | Registered: Jul 2002 | IP: Logged
