Pizza Pan Hot Pad

This hot pad is a direct result of a request from one of the JPF Crochet Club members. She mentioned she found a pattern in a magazine that looked like a pizza and was big enough to put a pizza pan on. Well since there was a pattern that looked like a pizza already, I decided to make one that was just big enough for a pizza pan but does not look like a pizza. This is the result.

Random Quick Tip!

No Slip Quilting Rulers!
If you need to make a quilting ruler, or a machine quilting ruler non slip, and you don't have any of those commercial stick on things to do so, you can use E6000 glue on the back side of your ruler. Just put a straight bead down one edge and use a squeegee device such as a scraper or plastic old credit card to spread it on the ruler as smoothly, thinly and evenly as you can. Allow to dry overnight before using. I did this to one of mine and it works better than other products I used in the past. It dries clear so you can still see through your ruler! I am using it on a machine quilting ruler I have. I can move my fabric through the machine with the ruler! Make sure to follow safety precautions when using.
