Yo yo table runner

Big hugs to all my quilting friends. The weekend didn't produce as much as I had planned but at least there was some progress on the Sugar and Spice quilt Blocks. Machine stitching the dresden's and yo-yo's made this so much easier. It was a little tricky on the yo-yo's but with a slow and steady pace they came together quicker than I thought they would. As usual I used Superior Threads Mono-Poly Invisible Monofilament thread. It is second to none in my opinion. After years of trying other…

This type of simple coverlet was among the first sewing lessons I had from my grandmother. This tutorial is for people of any age who have any level of experience with sewing, including none! Sugarplum thinks that everything I work on is for her! This gives you an idea of the scale of my yo-yos. If you are from the UK, you may know them as Suffolk Puffs. Yo-yos have been around in the United States since the 1920's and 30's. They were especially popular in the south because when sewn…

Gather up all of those beautiful fabric yo-yos and use them to make some or all of the exciting yo-yo projects found here!

...is just what the doctor ordered. I could not face more pink and black triangles, so I turned to a little FMQ and finished, yes finished, my Easter Table Runner by Kim Diehl.

Since I am expecting (well, that is, my DD is expecting) to be doing a lot waiting in a hospital in the near future, I also prepped some…

The yo-yo dates back to the Victorian Era but was more popular between 1925 - 1930. It also been called puff, pom pom, rosette, or pinwheel. I haven't used a yo-yo maker and I think it would slow me down, but here is a link I came across, about different types of makers, that some of you might find useful. Happy Yo-yoing :)

Making fabric yo yo's can be much like eating a bag of potato chips... you can't stop at just one! Trust me I tried... over 15 years ago! Today, the amount of EXTRA fabric yo yo's that I have made and not needed for one project or another fills an entire vintage trunk of mine! I have to say yo yo's are the perfect take along craft for anyone, especially new moms. I know, because that's exactly the phase of life I was in when I first saw these beauties in a magazine. While I was a busy mom…
