Well I have hit the mark of sending out 70 templates!! If I have missed anyone who has asked for one - if you do not get yours in about a week or so let me know.
I have a pretty good system to keep track but I am known to make a mistake once every blue moon or so!!!

Thank you all for your kind words and for offering to pay for postage. I am just glad to share what I have learned with anyone who will put up with me!! No postage is needed thanks!

I believe in paying forward. My dad was an old " horse trader" ( trade for things rather than exhange money) and I learned early on to do for those you care about and whenever you can help someone without expecting anything in return.


I am just carrying on the tradition.

Thanks to everyone for all the interest in what I do!! It is much appreciated!!!

Thank you.

Yes, thank you!

Because you share without expecting anything in return, you will be truly blessed with what you need. Thank you for sharing and giving so generously to others, myself included. If you ever need anything, please let us know, so we can pay it back.

I would gladly trade fabric. I am always looking for small to tiny print fabric. It has become harder to find as the market tends towards large floral or watercolor batiks etc. I need something that when you look at a 1" section you will still see a print pattern. If the flowers or leaves or whatever are too far apart I lose the pattern when I sew them together and I end up with a white square etc.

So I am a bit particular about what I use. I also tend to prefer dark darks and white or light cream backgrounds in my lights.

My friend Dorothy says I need to broaden my horizons and not be so stuck in the mud!! She likes the brighter colors and easter type colors.

I sell to an Amish type store so I tend to lean towards the darker prints.

Mostly habit since I have sold to Kalona for 11 years so my eye is tuned into what works for the owner there.

Any small or tiny print will be welcome I will find a place for it!
Anybody has scraps I would gladly take them!

I would love a template! email [email protected]

I would be happy to send you a template! I need your postal address so I can send you one. You can email me or leave me a personal message.

Rhonda, I have my new tiny toy. Thanks so much for sharing these with us. I have several books on miniature quilts. Thanks to you my friend, I now have the inspiration to try to make one.

The only payment I want from everyone is to see pictures!!

Thanks Rhonda

The Kalona you refer to - is that in Iowa?
