Flower Yo-yos and Fairies

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

The quilt tops I pieced for my parents should be returning to me soon from the longarm quilter. I’ve been making flower yo-yos with this nifty little gadget. I appliqued a vine on the quilt for my Mom and will add leaves, traditional yo-yos, and the flower ones as well. This is one of those acts of love - as yo-yos are not really my style, but something my Mom will most definitely love.

I did see a really cool use of yo-yos on Calamity Kim’s website. Check out her purse! Hmm! Maybe yo-yos are my style after all!

Here are fabrics for my next quilt. Fairies! I purchased the fairy fabric from Engine House Quilt Shop. And the blues and greens come from Pieced Together Quilt Shop. Both are lovely shops here in Indiana. Fun owners!
