But they have an embroidered broderie englaise type pattern on and the fabric is too nice to just toss, and the cotton is now thin and sheer. I was going to make myself some hankies, but now I'll make some jug covers too. And as the fabric is white and the embroidery blue they'll just suit my decor! LOL <br />Ok so I really don't have decor, just a general colour scheme - if it's blue or white or blue and white it gets to be in my kitchen!<br />AnnaGladstone Greeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596402955857279454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-30574871373757560492009-05-12T16:28:00.000+10:002009-05-12T16:28:00.000+10:00Wonderful pattern!

(He's happily snipping away at the petals :D)<BR/><BR/>I have crocheted milk jug covers before - for my husband's coffee mug, as he likes to drink his coffee after it gets cold, but kept finding drowned flies (daytime) and moths (at night) in it. Glass beads make the best edging, but little shells work well too - collect ones with little holes in them when next at the beach!Mythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243071725565727650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-90394345114558507002009-02-08T09:03:00.000+10:002009-02-08T09:03:00.000+10:00Lovely photo, and your cloth covers bring back hap...Lovely photo, and your cloth covers bring back happy old and recent memories. <BR/><BR/>One Grandmother always had them for covering the jug of milk. Hers were crochetted with heavy beading around the edge. I have one which I kept on a jug on the table, it was so pretty. Recently I was puzzled to find it on the windowsill - my not so little cat had found and claimed it as his own toy! <BR/><BR/>Cover and jug now locked away in the china cabinet.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the post on freezing, I picked up so many great ideas and tips.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful time with your sister, Mickle in WellingtonMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-55509949762693175802009-02-08T02:46:00.000+10:002009-02-08T02:46:00.000+10:00Are you alright?I just read of the fires.
