I am working on a Christmas Yo-Yo Table Runner. It is not quite finished, but as you can see it is coming along. The Yo-Yo Table Runner is 5 yo-yo's wide and will be about 18-20 rows long. I'll have it finished for the MMP Christmas In July Shop Hop so stay tuned.

Show and Tell Monday at Make Mine Pink

A few weeks ago I showed off two yo-yo's I made -- I now have over 300 and am ready to turn all these little yo-yo's into a yo-yo quilt. It will be a small quilt because 300 sounds like a lot but it really does take a lot of yo-yo to make one.

OK Yo-Yo's Get In Line

This is a picture of all the yo-yo's I've finished in the last 3 weeks. Seems like they could just line them selves up and make a quilt. Hop to it Yo-Yo's! The blue ones will make a yo-yo tote bag, the light pink ones a yo-yo doll, the dark pink an Irish chain quilt, and the Christmas yo-yo's will make lots of projects.

Seems like I should have more piles of these little cuties for almost 500.

I'm so addicted to yo-yo making.

Quilt Blocks at Denbigh Days

September 15, 2007 I will have a table at the Denbigh Days Fair. I will be selling quilt blocks, redwork, tea towels, and some items made with yo-yos. At this time I have several sets of quilt blocks finished. You can see them on my web site at http://beloved-creations.com/

I am in the process of making some additional quilt blocks and would like your suggestions. What kind of embroidered quilt blocks would you like to see and in what colors? Here is an example of my work. I have patterns for children, heirloom patterns, Baltimore quilt patterns and many others. Please help me to decide what to take.

Yo-Yo Quilt

I have made more than 300 yo-yo's since the end of July. In doing so I have used up most of my smaller stash of fabric. I have them in purple, pinks, and blues. To make my first quilt, I have chose to work in the pinks. I pinned together 16 of 9 yo-yo sets adding up to 144. I now realize that i need 3 times that to make a large quilt. So now I have to decide on my next fabrics to purchase because you know I'll never find the exact fabrics I had. I think I will work around the 9 blocks with tone-on-tone of pinks and creams. Any way here is my first picture. Those corner yo-yo's are really pink and the tiny flowers in the between them are pink too.

My first yoyo

They are called yoyo's. I'm not sure why except maybe because they are round? But anyway I made my first one today. I hope to make a lot more as they are easy to transport while you wait in lines or offices. What will I make with them? I was thinking just some small projects. Stay tuned as I figure it out.














Also my daughter in Tennessee bought me this John Deere Bank to save money for a farm. Too cute!! Love you Teresa!!
