Urenda ordered a couple casserole carriers for friends. The cupcake design is from Embroidery Library. I used Embird Alphabet #8 for the text. The border design came from Dee Giles.
I make a casserole carrier from two quilted place mats and 2 yards of webbing. I put button holes on the place mats so the spoon can act as the closure. It's not a full tutorial, but there are a few photos for how I constructed it here: http://janaysquilts.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-birthday-ms-susie.html
Super Hero, I'm sorry to say they are very hard to find!! I bought these after Christmas 2007. Walmart had the red, green and winter white placemats as part of their Christmas decor. The day after Christmas I bought $100 worth of them half price. Sadly my stash is almost depleted, and they haven't offered them since. :(
Walmart does have some quilted placemats made by Better Homes and Gardens. Bed Bath and Beyond also sells some, but they are $6 each!
Math teacher turn SAHM, I received my first embroidery machine in 2007, transferring my love of fabric from quilting to machine applique. Knowing I can never repay the God-given talents I inherited from my mom nor the generosity of my mother-in-law, I choose to pay it forward. In my free time when I'm not stitching, you can find me blogging away, candidly sharing all the details of my recent projects to assist those new to the craft, inspire fellow embroiderers, and promote the fabulous digitizers that make it all possible.

Those are great! I'm going to try to sew some items for me this year, so maybe I'll get a chance to make one of these :)
Also, I love the place to carry spoons--are those just inserted into buttonholes?
Thanks!
Yep, they are button holes. :)

Where do you find the quilted placemats? I have looked all over and can't find plain quilted placemats. I love this project!
