I am a miniaturist and make lots of small project type things. I make coin purses / hotpads/ bookmarks/ eye glass cases/ mini quilts and lots more. </p><p>here are a few of my doll quilts I've made over the years. These are not for dolls use but are in fact a small mini size quilt made for swapping with other quilters. They can vary in size. Most of mine are within 14" x 16" or smaller. These are all my original designs. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngMinQrQGOS6_ESa-dGvGmv1B9UgsuvzOFmOHUaTcCWzcTCFzdZKmYh04e_YDiYOm_0dTKn9_i2xCwCcRjTjNGY1mqNtyk5zHNpivx9LJXmuWciwDp-WpfbSmOIwxGOYfGIXFGzOvXMI/s507/22768_1301227687454_486942_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Any leftover fabric can be recycled into more blocks or you can make crazy quilt blocks with the left overs. there is always a use for anything left over. Share them with a friend if you don't want to use them yourself. Happy quilting my friend!!</div>

<br />
The Blue one is made with my kansas dugout shortcut blocks.<br />
The green one is made with my method of making HST blocks. I used a border treatment I like to use in my bookmarks.<br />
<br />
Now I'm starting a pieced mini quilt top for a billfold. I want to build up some stock so I have some stuff to offer for sale soon. If there is anything you'd like to see me include feel free to leave me a message. I'm open to suggestions!<br />

I have sorted and shared a lot of it but I am still sending stuff out to share with friends. My living room will breathe a sigh of relief when I finally get it all gone LOL I've spent a lot of time moving and sorting all of her stash. They tell me there is lots more to come!! THey have brought me at least 150 quilt books so far. I am down to around 35 books yet to get rid of.<br />

So now on to other things. I always have a list of what I intend to work on but I'm really bad about procrastinating. I really need to get a checkbook cover made for a friend of mine. I also want to make some hotpads to send to a few friends and hopefully to get started selling again. Just have to find my mojo to get back into gear again!! If and when I get started I'll have some pics to show!</div>

I decided to start a new blog showcasing my quilt tutorials. These quilts are made using my shortcut blocks of course LOL<br />
<br />
https://uniquetechniquesbyrhonda.blogspot.com/<br />
<br />
My very first website in 2006 was called Unique Techniques by Rhonda so I decided to use that for this blog as a nod to my first attempt to share my work.<br />
<br />
I have lots of quilts I've developed over time and I decided it was time to offer them to you so they can be seen and appreciated. As always my work is open for you to use any way you like. The only thing I ask is not to sell the patterns. You are welcome to sell anything you make and I hope you enjoy the journey.<br />

You can find the directions for making a dresden kaleidoscope in my previous posts. You will need a smaller template however. I will be happy to send you one if you send me an email @ patchesbyr@yahoo.com<br />
<br />
after you make the dresden k then add a hanger (ribbon) and just back it like a quilt and then sew around the raw edge with the stitch of your choice. I like the herringbone stitch or a buttonhole stitch. the tighter your stitch the better it covers the edge. I didn't use any batting. tho you could if you like the look.<br />
<br />
Then I spray it with sizing really well on both sides and iron it flat. let it dry and it will hang well.<br />

Yeah right! I am doing good to get in here every couple of months or so. LOL<br />
<br />
I am a procrastinator of the worst kind! But I do love sharing my quilting with you all. so here I am again now that I have something to write about.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love making Dresden Kaleidoscopes. And I love miniatures. so here are some Candy Cane mini dresden k's I've been working on. I was thinking I will post 6 of them at a time on Ebay and leave them as appliques to be used by the quilter. These are 4" in size.<br />

Last year I made some Christmas ornaments out of mini Dresden Ks so I am thinking I may turn some of these into ornaments this year and offer them for sale. These are 4" in size. One picture is just more up close than the other they are both the same size.<br />

<br />
To make this quilt block you will need a template. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It's best to have an acrylic(hard plastic) square.<br />
<br />
You can make this quilt block into a 12 1/2"<br />
quilt block if you use a 3 1/2" template.<br />
<br />
However you can use any size template to make it<br />
any size you like.<br />
<br />
Refer back to the shortcut block directions to make<br />
the Star Point Blocks.<br />

I love mine! I spend way too many hours in there. I can get lost for hours.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Here lately I am having fun designing tablerunners. Which could also be used as wall hangings depending on the size you make it. </span><br style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><br style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I turned my favorite bookmark pattern into a tablerunner. Haven't written a pattern yet but it won't be very complicated LOL A friend of mine said you know the quilt block doesn't have to be 12 1/2" - I've always aimed for that size as a general rule. so I took her advice and here is my Boston Braid Tablerunner. I'm debating on the size the blocks should be. 8" would make it 16" x 56" without borders. Course you could use 7 blocks as I did or you could use 5 or 6 to make it not so long. These are boston blocks. the color and placement gives you the braid look. </span><br style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><br style="background-color: #fcfaf0; color: #362f2d; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><img alt="Name: Boston Braid Tablerunner400.jpg

It has been pretty nice out weather wise here in Iowa with a few thunderstorms occasionally lately but mostly nice sunny days.<br />
<br />
Hope you're all enjoying your summer! I had hoped to have my 4 younger grands come and stay but everyone is so busy!! Rachel is 15 and in driver's ed and babysitting and starting cheerleading practice soon! always on the go. The twin boys Daymon and Devon(13) have been in some sport I've forgotten which one now LOL my memory is not as good as it used to be! and they are busy doing summer things like going to the pool with their little brother Colton(6).<br />
<br />
Two of my older grandsons came and pulled up my old tile and put down new press on tile in my living room for a new look that I just love! Tyler is going to build in a closet for me when he has time.<br />
We bought the wood and he has it cut but now just needs to find time to build it in. I finally have my furniture moved where I want ti and have a space(where the closet will go) to put all the boxes of stuff that has been sitting on the floor in the living room. Now you can actually see my floor again!! LOL We always collect so much junk!! I really need to sort and get rid of some of it. I'll be so happy when the closet is done and I can put all of this behind doors where noone can see my mess.<br />
<br />
<br />
I haven't been sewing for quite awhile but I have been designing. I posted my Morrocan Stars tablerunner the other day. Now I'm working the Sunshine Stars tablerunner. the pattern only needs the cutting directions finished and it will be ready to post for a free download soon. I have three more tablerunners in progress and will hopefully have them available soon also. It seems tablerunners are popular these days!<br />
<br />
Here is my Sunshine Stars tablerunner.<br />

It is called Life's a Quilt. This is a fantastic active group that has lots of projects to join in on and lots of great quilters to meet and get to know.<br />
<br />
Here is one of my BOMs that I posted on March 6th. I designed this one just for the Life's group BOM.<br />
<br />
This one uses my Triple Strip shortcut method.<br />
<br />
Times Square quilt block<br />

Here you can see the individual blocks and how they are placed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this quilt block just refer to the tutorial for my Triple Strip shortcut blocks and then make them in the colors you see here. Make sure you place the individual blocks in the direction you see them in the layout pic here.</div>

<br />
It's a beautiful foggy wet somewhat warm day in SE Iowa today!<br />
I'll take that over 6 ft of snow and or ice any day! LOL<br />
<br />
Hope you are getting some good quilty time today!<br />
<br />
Thought I'd share some things with you today.<br />
I began a new group on FB recently called Rhonda's Shortcuts.<br />
I am offering tips and tricks and free patterns on there. I have<br />
added several tutorials to the files that you are welcome to use<br />
any way you like except selling them.<br />
<br />
Here is the tablerunner I posted on there.<br />
I'd post the PDF here but I don't see a way to do that.<br />
If you aren't on FB and would like to have the PDF just<br />
email me at patchesbyr@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to<br />
send it to you.<br />

<br />
I started a new group on Facebook so I could post my tutorials and get people involved. It is called Rhonda's Shortcuts if you'd like to join us. I am posting projects you can do and sharing lots of tips and ideas I hope will help other quilters.<br />
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1834162833463943/<br />
<br />
Lots of colds and flu going around in our area. Thankfully we haven't had much snow. so far the ice and snow have been minimal<br />
<br />
I have been learning to improve my pattern writing skills and will share those quilt patterns with you soon. I am a member of the Life's a Quilt group on Facebook and I started a BOM last Sept.<br />
I will be making those available here soon also.<br />
<br />
So keep warm and keep quilting!! Wishing you Sunshine and Laughter to keep you warm and cozy!! Rhonda<br />

It is a new tute to the site but not a new idea. I've made Dresden Kaleidoscopes for over 30 years and they are still as exciting as when I first learned to make them.<br />
<br />
A Dresden Kaleidoscope is a Dresden pattern but the blades are fussy cut to give the Kaleidoscope look. I love them! They are alot of fun to make.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my favorites I've made<br />

And here you can see some of the fabrics that work the best for making these. You need a design or print that has a lot of interest and doesn't have alot of bare spaces. You also need to have at least 3 repeats in a quarter yard. One yard will give you about 6 Dresden Kaleidoscopes. If you pick a fabric that doesn't have at least 3 repeats per quarter yard then you just need to buy more of your fabric so you have enough repeats.</div>

I have closed my two previous sites<br />
bitnpiecesworkshop and patchworkbyrhonda<br />
<br />
I opened a new website - <a href="http://www.piecencutpatchwork.com/">http://www.piecencutpatchwork.com/</a><br />
<br />
As you may or may not know I started a new website a year ago this april. I hadn't realized it had been that long til I got a notice that my yearly pmt was coming due!! LOL What a shock! I hadn't paid any attention to how time has flown.<br />
<br />
So I had this new website and worked on it for several months before taking it live this last November. I just got it where it feels like it is an acceptable amt of stuff on it to be interesting to others and so I proceeded to start doing some marketing work lately. I don't know a lot about this but I do know some having owned and gone through all of this before on my 3 previous sites. Each time I lean more and more. I'd never had an online site before I opened my first one. I didn't even know what a URL or a browser was at that point. LOL<br />
<br />
Needless to say I am still learning and struggling through all of the sites intricacies. <br />
<br />
I have now gotten all of my EQ electric quilt lessons on there. I have brought all of my BOMs up to date also. There are some project lessons on there but I have alot more to add. It takes so much time when you have to add each picture and then put it on the page and make sure the pic is the right size and placed right etc. Now multiply that by about 200 pics and it takes a lot of time. I wish I could just copy and paste each tutorial but it won't copy and paste the pictures. Ah well it reminds me of the old hunt and peck way of typing. I hunt for each picture add it to the site then click on the add button to add it to the gallery and then click again to add it to my page. Now you know why it takes me so long to get tutorials added! I am working on getting all of my free tutorials moved to this new website. I want to see all of my stuff in one place.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on getting all of my free quilt blocks moved to this site and adding some of the quilts I've designed to show how you can use the BOMs in a quilt. I love designing! It is my favorite part of quilting tho I love seeing the completed project also.<br />
<br />
I hope to figure out the store on my site and get it up and running so I can sell some of what I make. I make small gift items with a mini quilt front on them. Hopefully yet this summer I will have that up and running<br />
<br />
You can see my PiecenCut Patchwork site at<br />
<a href="http://www.piecencutpatchwork.com/" target="_blank">http://www.piecencutpatchwork.com/</a><br />
<br />
I also still use the Patchwork by Rhonda name on the site so you can google that or Piecencutpatchwork<br />
<br />
<br />
Wishing you Sunshine and Laughter!!! Rhonda<br />
