    Dear divaquilts, to get to the clip art, click on "Expand" under the beginning of the recipe, then click on the highlighted "clip art designs" and the labels will appear.

    I was hoping to get the template for these pickle labels to go with the recipe, however when I followed the instructions in my new issue of Martha Stewart Living, the label templates are not available as promised. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon? Great idea!
