With a pin mark a point half way between the stitching lines of the middle piece on the outside edge. This will act as a guide for the stitching on the top piece. Sew only through the top and middle circles towards the center as far as you can. The stitching will not reach the middle. When finished you should have six pie shaped stitching lines which are in the center of the stitching lines of the bottom two pieces. Pull the top layer to the center to form the pockets. Mark where the center three pockets meet. Cut a 1 inch piece of velcro; separate it and cut one side in half. Sew the long strip onto the center of one of the pocket edges and the two smaller pieces each onto the corresponding pocket edges so that they meet and keep the center together. The center can be stitched together but the velcro makes it very circle of paper for a pattern and mark it into 6 equal 12-in- pieces. Using this pattern cut 3 circles from yard of quilted fabric.

BUN WARMER . 1 lb. egg white tablespoon cream teaspoon vanilla available where quilted fabrics are LAYTON If holiday baking is a specialty at your house, you might want to make up some quilted bun warmers and pass those rolls or muffins along to friends and family in style. They are quick to do and are sure to draw compliments from anyone lucky enough to receive one. During Christmas entertaining they are especially hardy since each little pocket can be filled with cookies, candy, or other treats if you arent serving rolls in it at the time. They are especially easy to make from double faced quilting fabric in a seasonal print. You may want to make several for yourself, one to go with each holiday throughout the year. For wedding showers or a luncheon, try making one out of eyelet or a similar lacy type fabric. They look especially feminine done that way.
