Casserole Cover for Me!!

Back in December I made casserole covers for my mom and mother-in-law for Christmas. Then the day after Christmas I went shopping and bought a TON of the same placemats to have on hand for future gifts and orders. I am just now getting around to using them. We had a potluck scheduled last Sunday and I decided it was time I made one for myself. I didn't end up getting to use it since church was canceled due to Tropical Storm Fay, but at least it finally motivated me to make one! When I do get to use it, it will serve as a decorative carrier to potlucks, an identifier for who made the yummy dish, and be used as a hot pad underneath the pan. It can accommodate up to a covered 9"x13" pan.
