Thanks everyone. They are already in the mail to the receivers. No I personally wouldn't use them either. I view most things I make as a picture. Checkbook covers and keychains I use but hotpads I have never kept one in almost 15 years of making them. I use to sell them to a local gift store and made about 900 of them over 12 years pieced mostly but some Dresden Kaleidoscopes and Crazy quilt ones and a few applique over those years.
IF you look up at the right hand corner you will see in the rotation my EBook on Dresden Kaleidoscopes. It was the third ebook I wrote and released here on the board in 2009. This is NOT a sales pitch just a comment to show how long I have been doing these.
Right now it is showing my Wings Blocks on my page anyway. It is under advanced search if you want to see more of my kaleidoscopes.
I also have 2 threads on here where I posted some of my Dresden Kaleidoscopes a long time ago.

In this one on the second page you will see a brief explanation. I have to be careful how much I give away because of the Ebook.
