Rumbols, So glad you had some good news and hoping the next tests come out well, too.
Rhonda, your work is beautiful...love the kaleidoscopes! I don't know how you can do the Mini's. They are so little and cute. My fingers are too big, I guess.

Doing a kaleidoscope quilt is a big want of mine. I’ve had the perfect fabric set aside for it for years. I’m just hoping I can convince one of our LQS’s to do a class on it. I’d feel better that way being guided through at least the first one. I’ve been waiting so long though I may just get up the nerve & do it. They definitely seem intimidating like you said Teen.
Rhonda, I don’t know how you do those miniatures. Keeping those seems allowances so perfect for such a little thing would drive me nuts. I figure that you have to be spot on with minis.

Well, I got the wall hanging done and I am ready to ship. I did a spring type WH with flowers again. If you go to www.allpeoplequilt.com and look up Fiesta Flowers WH, you will see the pattern I used. Didn't use the same fabric colors and changed the background to all white. I sewed the background with some of the fancy stitching on my sewing machine to make it look like wall paper (something new for me) before appliqueing the flowers on. I used a batik FQ set and pieced the binding when done. Hope this is clear enough to get a picture of what the wall hanging looks like (can't post pics). Will pm our host and likely not be on the board for a few days or weeks depending on my doctor. I will be reading whenever I can, so good luck to everybody with their wall hangings. Everyone have a nice safe holiday next month.

The dresden Kaleidoscopes are so easy. If you want to learn I'd be happy to show you. I send out a free template for the DKs.
I teach my own shortcut methods which make the minis easier to do. You can use the method for any size not just minis.
I have a lot of tutorials on this forum.
I am having some serious sewing machine frustration LOL My favorite brother decided to lock up on me. I have 4 other brothers but they were bought for my grandkids to use when here so they are more simple machines. I want to use a particular stitch on my Project Runway machine but it is locked up. I finally gave in and ordered another one on Ebay. I need this stitch to finish one of those goodies I will be sending out LOL
