Last week Ruth brought fabric for yo-yo's and we all pitched in to start stitching for the make-it and take-it that will be done at the party. Many ladies brought the Yo-Yo makers by Clover--most never having used them. With a fumble-fingered demo by me, Carmen, the ladies got the hang of it and whipped up a pile. The photo shows the ones I did at home while watching the LDS conference sessions this weekend. I went to a web site to look up a pattern that Christina had used for a bag (more after this) and found a wonderful demo of the yo-yo makers by Clover that is colorful, very step-by-step, so it will be worth your time to take a look at it. It is at http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/ and the site also features the lazy angle ruler that we used a few years ago when it was just new on the market. There is a quilt pattern, too, as well as the bag.
Christina made me this darling bag using the great chicken prints, magnetic closure, and even a zipper opening on the back. Not shown is the great hardware she used for the shoulder handle. I have truly loved this bag and have it where I see it all day long. Right now it is holding some hand-quilting supplies for a quilt I am working on, but have used it for the checkbook and credit card for shopping as well. The site is at the Lazy Girl Designs site (see above) so click on in and take a look around.
On the completed interest surveys that were turned in at our meeting today there were several mentions of doing a yo-yo project with the quilt group. Maybe the site will give you some ideas of how and where they can be used. Have fun--and keep stitching!
