Jam jar covers.

I needed a present for someone who gave me 3 buckets of plums and who is a great jam maker. So, just like Sue, I used the outline of the doily design and added some fruit designs - strawberries, cherries and of course plums (which I haven't stitch out yet).

Great idea especially this time of year when everyone
seems to be canning something or other.
Thanks for the design.

Martine - these are so pretty. I wish I could make these but my 4x4 hoop is not big enough. I usually cut out a circle in gingham with pinking shears and just embroider a small fruit - when I can find small fruits. Sarah.

That's what I used to do too. And I tried one of those circular stitch gadgets for the sewing machine: put the material in a ring/hoop for hand emboidery and attach the gadget with a pin to the centre and use a fancy stitch. But I did not quite like that so most times I just cut it out.
By want of small fruit designs I made these, just drawing free hand in the software.

pour ne pas être obligé de mettre un ruban pour clore cette charlotte il suffirait de trouver deux frames de dimensions inférieures au pourtour et de diametres differents en ayant eu préablement l'idée de mettre un tissu en dessous le premier tissu, on fait une petite boutonnière et on peut passer un ruban entre les deux ronds et parfaire la charlotte

Thank you for the tip. I thought about that, but don't know what size jars she will be using.

Great! I,also, make preserves. I have lots of figs canned in jars, jellies, jams,etc. and my family knows if they return my jars, they usually get more filled ones.-T

Thank you. Figs are never cheap around here, so I usually make jams and jellies from black and redcurrants and from blackberries, which grow abundantly in my garden. So the plums were a nice gift.
