Here is all of the items I took to Willow Creek in Kalona Iowa today. She buys my products. This isn't a very big order I ran out of time!! But the next order hopefully I will get alot more done.

The navy and white one is a Jane Stickel block I did a redraft on. I had it sitting here so I used it in a hotpad.

Here are the ones I posted before but I decided to show them all together

I thought I took pics of the 2 keychains after I finished them but I guess I forgot to. Sorry!

Beautiful Rhonda - I bet they go very quickly! Seeing the scale on the last pic next to the machine is so impressive.

They are all so intricate and nice! The star point blocks I thought had errors but you intended for the points to be backwards!! That is something else! They are all so very nice. You do great work, as always!! :D :D

Rhonda!! :D You have done it again!! :thumbup: They are all adorable & you do such nice work. Do you sew these little pieces, on the Singer showed in your picture?
:D :D :D :D

More exquisite little beauties! Great work.

All of them are just gorgeous!! I bet they sell in a flash! :thumbup:

Hi Rhonda! I love all your little things. They are so cute! Thanks for sharing!

i just LOVE your work!! you are just amazing when it comes to miniatures!! can't wait to get started on my own stuff--i really want to make a keychain for myself!!

do you use tweezers to hold the little pieces??? I am amazed ! I have to use 6 inch blocks now. my Parkinson's keeps me away from the needle.. lol

Wow !! something else !

Very nice Rhonda.

Oh, Rhonda, those are all so pretty. Everyone of them are so nice. You do such great work and are so talented. Thanks for sharing these with us.

you do such wonderful wook

SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Makes we want to get off here and do some sewing !!!!!
bopeep

just gorgeous little itty bitties. Mousie lives in a big, big world, and needs itty bitties in her life. These are great.
I have to do some of the star point blocks as well as many of the others...hmm, maybe all of them eventually! :P

Thanks Katrine. I love making them. The lady who I have sold to for the last 12 years never wanted keychains. She took them as mini quilts and put them on the Amish doll's lap as if the doll made the quilt. I used to make these things for her by the dozens. I made 80 of them one time for her in one order.

This gal I am selling to now is nuts over the keychains so I like that. I do get tired of making them tho.

It is a paddlewheel pattern at least that is my name for it. It probably has a name or names but I don't know what it is. My mom doesn't like it because she sees the swastica in it. I guess you could see it that way but it is one of my favorites and I use it in differant forms alot.
I wish I had remembered to take a pic of the finished ones! I finished the Ohio Star and the Paddlewheel but got in a hurry and didn't get the pics.

Yes Sulabug that is my Singer. I got it at a yard sale for $25 in 1983 and I use it nearly everyday. It is a 1950s reproduction of an 1850's Singer. It has it's ups and downs but I love my machine.

Thank you everyone!! I love making miniatures. I don't have the patience for bit stuff!! It drives me insane to do long seams. I hate hemming for that reason. too boring and takes forever to finish! LOL I like quick pieces! And I love the variety. I can't make the exact same thing twice. I did it for the DJ swaps but it was hard to keep going on the same block over and over!!

LOL no I don't use tweezers. I guess my fine motor control works well. LOL I use 1" blocks in these that my friend Dorothy makes for me. She sews and cuts out hundreds of these for me. Saves me alot of time. I can pick up the blocks and design without having to do the construction of the blocks. We use my cutdown method which allows us to have tiny pieces within the 1" block. She also makes the Star point blocks for me in the 1" and the Bostons. Once you do the joining of the fabric you can cut it any size you want.

Have fun playing Miss Mousie!!

Beautiful work Rhonda!!

I agree, they are all beautiful

Thanks alot everyone. I hope they sell for her too cause if she sells what she bought from me then she will need more!!

Rhonda, you do such beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my, so tiny and so perfect. You are so accomplished. May you make bundles of money.

Beautiful work!

Thanks!!

Great job!

those are all beautiful, thank you for sharing. Penny

Such tiny things to work with..great job

The whole world must be on www.bitsnpiecesworkshop.com . I have been trying for 20 minutes. I'll try at midnight.

Did you use batting in your bookmarks?

Nope no batting. I spray it thoroughly with Magic Sizing and let it dry overnight. It gets pretty stiff.

Did you use a piece of fabric for the back and just turn it inside out?

Beautiful!

I love seeing your work. It is always nice.

Really nice itty bitties. Thanks for sharing.

Too cute
