Sandra O'Reilly

Sandra O'Reilly was in to show us her Casserole cover she made using a pattern by Chili Pepper Patterns. This is such a cool idea. You carry your dish to the potluck dinner, and then you can open it and place it on the table as a table center! How clever is that? Sandra says the pattern went together so quick and easy using paper piecing for perfect points!
