Wedding Gifts

We had a few weddings take place in our neighborhood in August.  I wanted to share the gifts I made, maybe you'll get some idea for the next time you have a wedding to attend.

First up, pot holders.  I custom made these to match the bride's chosen kitchen colors.  I used Amy's tutorial.  although this time I doubled the batting rather than the insulbright.  I made my own bias tape, with some of the fun Anna Maria fabric left from my girls' blouses. 

For another gift, I took some fun china I bought at the local antique store, and put the bowl and tea cup together to make a fun candy dish.

Inside the dish is homemade salt water taffy.  I included the recipe (in the sheet protector below).  The card included the admonition to make life sweet for each other.

All wrapped up and ready to go.
