Hi Everone,
I downloaded Rhonda's Kaleidascope e-book & made three of the trivet pattern. She is right, once you get started it is addicting!! :D :D :D I hope you enjoy looking at these picture's.

You did a great job, they'll beautiful!!

Esqmommy 06-24-2009 05:00 AM

Those are amazing. I love the fabric. Those would make really nice "hostess gifts" for when you are invited to a friend's house for dinner and such. Don't you think? I know I'd love to get one or two!!

Ninnie 06-24-2009 05:19 AM

Those are really pretty!Great job SulaBug!

Debbie1 06-24-2009 05:47 AM

Wow! First try - they're great!

imjustme 06-24-2009 05:55 AM

I like them- Good job

Rhonda 06-24-2009 06:46 AM

Those are really great Sulabug! I love the way you alternated the birds with sections of the leaves! That really sets the birds off!
They are fun aren't they! I always want to see what the next one will look like! Sometimes I give in and sew half together before I cut all of them out just because I can't wait to see what the pattern will look like!

The first ones I did a few years ago I made into trivets and they were about 9" finished. My daughter was having a tupperware party and she borrowed all my Kaleidoscipe trivets and set her dishes on them when she served her refreshments.

Can't wait to see what you come up with next Sulabug!! Love these!


Mplsgirl 06-24-2009 06:48 AM

Good work, and gorgeous fabric!

RedGarnet222 06-24-2009 07:38 AM

Cute cute cute!!! I love tropical fabrics for summer. You did a great job on matching them up too.

Ducky 06-24-2009 07:44 AM

Oh, they are great! I have the e-book, too, but haven't had time to try working on it. Is the yellow one daffodils? I love it!

SulaBug 06-24-2009 01:42 PM

Thank you everyone, for the nice compliments on my kaleidascope
trivets! :D They were just way to fun to make & it was hard to stop.
Yes, the yellow one is daffodil's & I plan to make another one, for a set.
I am hoping to make more of these for Christmas gifts. My Mom has already spoke up for the bird set!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

billswife99 06-24-2009 01:44 PM

Those are so neat! I like the first one best too.

bearisgray 06-24-2009 02:49 PM

I like the way you alternated the pieces - very pretty

Lisa T 06-24-2009 02:53 PM

These look great! Good job!

You can add batting and a loop and make them into hotpads. The instructions are in the book.
Then you could make a set of trivets and hotpads!

sewjoyce 06-24-2009 03:04 PM

Those are great!!!

Lacelady 06-24-2009 03:21 PM

Those toucans are brilliant!

pennyswings 06-24-2009 03:23 PM

Wow Sula these came out great. I love the bird patterns and the Jonquil is beautiful.

SewinNancy 06-24-2009 05:34 PM

SulaBug,
I love your choise of fabric. The birds are the best. I am obviously a bird. person. The flowers are beautiful too. Thanks for sharing.

littlehud 06-24-2009 06:46 PM

They look great. I have to try that.

Rhonda,
I didn't explain how I made the trivets very well.
I have put batting in them, maybe I should have
called them hot pads!! :D Thank you for all of
your help!!
Sulabug,
:D :D :D

gaigai 06-24-2009 11:54 PM

Wow! Those are beautiful! I can hardly wait to get my templates and try making some. But I'm sure they won't turn out as good as yours!

SulaBug 06-24-2009 11:59 PM

Gaigai,
Oh YES, they will!! :D After reading
Rhonda's book, you will know just
exactly how to make them. You are
going to LOVE them!! :D
Sulabug,
:D :D :D

Kellie G 06-29-2009 03:21 PM

Those are beautiful!!! If that is the results on your first try and they turned out so well, maybe I'll get the e-book and give it a whirl....

Sorry Sulabug I missed this post! Thank you for the compliment and the kind words! They are appreciated!!

I'm just glad you enjoyed the process! I think it is so much fun but sometimes people are intimidated by seeing something that looks hard when it isn't! I think these are easier than making pieced tops. What did you think? They make a nice change from piecing patchwork.

Bevanger 06-30-2009 07:50 AM

oooooooooooooooooo those are beautiful. you did a fantastic job

Quilt4u 06-30-2009 08:46 AM

Wow!!! Very nice. You did a great job.

SulaBug 06-30-2009 10:04 AM

Thanks gals for the nice compliments!! :D
They are way to fun to make. Everyone
should give them a try. They go together
faster than you might think.
:D :D :D

Mamagus 06-30-2009 10:09 AM

Sweet job! Love the daffodils!
