Swimmer Girl, what a darling quilt! Looks more like a picture! ;-) I think that I will need to add some yo-yos to my next project. That will be another first for me!! :-P Are they hard to make??

take a saucer or cup or glass depending on the size you want (you might have to make some samples) and draw around the saucer...making a nice circle. Very close to the cut (raw) edge and using a strong or doubled thread make a tiny running stitch all around the edge..Then pull the thread up tight. Move the gathered center to the center of the circle and sort of flatten it out...I put a button over the raw edge This kind of yoyo is good for dolls as the centers don't show. This is the only way I know how to make them, so hope this helps you....perhaps others have a better method ...hugs SG

I have a Clover yo-yo maker and they come in different sizes. Haven't used it as yet.
A lady made about 2000 yo-yo pins, adding leaves on each side of the yo-yo and attached a pin thing-a-ma-gig to the back so you can wear it or attach it to something. She made them for our quilt show next week. Come to our quilt show and you will have a choice of a mug mat (coaster) or a yo-yo pin. Come see over 300 quilts. It is a great show in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Hope to see all the board members at the show. Wouldn't that be nice.
