How much FUN are these ?
I have been making Yo Yos
for the last year or so...
I started stitching them together:
In the evenings I enjoy hand stitching...
I also take these along on road trips.
In the evenings I need some extra lighting
and this works very nicely...
It hangs around my neck and really
lights things up !
I carry the yo yos with me in this tote bag:
It is hand painted canvas
that I stitched together
to make this sturdy tote...
For now, everything I need fits inside.
As the yo yo top gets bigger, I will need to
switch to a larger tote bag...
I will keep stitching in the evenings...
and we can watch it grow !

Vary cute!! How large are you planning to go for your yoyo quilt?
ReplyDeleteHowdy Farm Quilter,
DeleteHow FUN are Yo Yos! I will probably make yo yos until I have burn out and can't do it any longer! I am hoping it will cover the top of the bed.

Oh wow! I've never been a yoyo maker. You quilt top looks very bright and colourful. For my hand piecing, rather than take the whole thing along, I take a bag of pieces and sew them together, then on an evening at home I attach the large piece to the whole, if that makes sense. It saves having to take a fast growing project with me.
ReplyDeleteHi Loulee,
DeleteGreat minds think alike.....that is exactly what I do!
Many thanks for your thoughtful comment,
LuAnn
I love this. I have been making various sizes of yo yos for years without knowing exactly what I’d do with them. I have used some Xmas fabric to make tree garlands, and that looks cute. I am wondering how you attach them together. I’ve seen yo yo quilts on muslin, but I don’t want to do that, and I like yours better. Thanks for your inspiring post, and letting me know I’m not alone in loving random yo yos!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, I attached the yo yos to one another using a ladder stitch. It doesn't show at all, like a whip stitch does. I have seen yo yo's made into a vest, dresser scarf, and I also made one for tree garland about 30 years ago with Debbie Mumm fabrics. Lots of FUN!
