Yesterday (Feb. 1) was a "Dirty Monday" meeting. I got a lot done...four wall hanging/table runner-sized quilts pin basted, and two sets of binding strips cut and ironed (ready to sew on). I was happy. Now...on to the quilting...
For those of you that know me, you will know how "out of character" this spring table topper is for me. For some reason, I had this topper in my mind for my step-mom. She has been wanting a new table topper, and I thought this would "fit the bill." I drew it out one day and made it the next. I guess I also thought that since I have every size Clover "Quick" Yo-Yo Maker that I should actually use some of them. I only have the round ones...no butterflies or heart shapes for me, but I must say...I LOVE this product. If you like to make yo-yos or have been thinking about buying this product, go ahead and jump in. It is easy to use and makes lovely yo-yos. They are even fairly quick to make. (I think it is addictive, though, because I made way more than I need to use for this project. I just got carried away.) You too may be surprised to find yourself making a quilting project using yo-yos! This is what the quilt looks like up on my design wall. The yo-yos and leaves are pinned on right now. I thought I'd quilt it before I applique the yo-yos on.This is what the product looks like. You should be able to find it at your local quilt shop, on line, or at quilt shows. They run from about $5.25 to $8.75 depending on the size you purchase.
