Now that Christmas is over it's time to get back to quilting LOL or in my case designing. I have so many quilt designs I want to share. so you can see some of them on my Unique Techniques blog. This is the last one I posted recently.

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!

Unique Techniques by Rhonda

Thought I'd jump in and touch base with you all. I decided to start a new blog showcasing my quilt tutorials. These quilts are made using my shortcut blocks of course LOL

https://uniquetechniquesbyrhonda.blogspot.com/

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.

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.

This is the first quilt I posted on Unique Techniques. Check out the blog to see the directions.

      The next quilt I will be posting......Rocket Rendezvous

      So make sure you check it out!                                       Rhonda  

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Here is how I decided to use my candy cane dresden kaleidoscopes.
             I am making them into tree ornaments.
                   
  

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

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.

Then I spray it with sizing really well on both sides and iron it flat. let it dry and it will hang well.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wishing you all A Happy Thanksgiving!! I am thankful for all of my followers on my blog and website and other sites. Thanks to all of you for letting me share my stuff with you!!
