Rhonda’s passion is quilting, this has led her to create her blog, quiltingpleasure.blogspot.com

This blog is for those who want to sew a patchwork quilt but have no idea where to start and too afraid (intimidated) to ask how. She wanted to create a space of beauty with easy to understand information. A place for like-minded folks to come together to learn and to swap ideas and hints. A safe place, where all are welcome and there are no dumb questions. A place for friends to meet.

Rhonda has also created Araminta Designs. She handmakes baby quilts and sells them. She can also make custom baby quilts for those wanting something a little different. These quilts can be found on her blog, quiltingpleasure.blogspot.com

Please take a look, she is very happy to answer any questions.
