Quilt in a Day Forums

I purchased one of the Clover Yoyo makers as I needed to make a few for an applique wallhanging project...

Well, my project is now on the back burner as I am enjoying the process of making yoyos! (Using up my scrap bin) The question is, what can I do with them? Do you have any ideas?

Thank you! Deni

I got addicted to making them when I bought the Clover makers. I have a shoe box full. There are some cute patterns for yo yo clown and elephant. I made a pillow top using some of my different size yo yos.

I have seen some vests made out of YoYo's and they looked very pretty.

Here's are some cute Christmas ornaments. Hope these link works, never been able to do this. but maybe someone can help with the links, or just type the address into your browser.

Also visit www.hancock.com and find under Free Project Ideas "Diamond Yo-Yo Ornament.

If you type into google, sewing with yo yo's, you will get a number of pages of sites to look at.

Some other ideas: placemats, hair clips, and here's a picture of a spare roll toilet paper holder:

Oops, here's the right picture: wrong, let me try again.

And once again, sorry!

Wow! What a lot of great ideas! I was stuck thinking pillow, or quilt. I hadn't thought of clowns/elephants, vests, ornaments, toilet roll holders...

It looks like I'll need a lot more yoyos! Maybe I'll get to the bottom of the scrap bin yet! (Some of these projects look really fast once the yoyos are made.)

Thank you for all your help!

I made a lot of ornaments last year for special auctions and sales and give-aways people were having. Great way to spend "tv time" for. Most of what's on tv doesn't take too much concentration, and with the yo yo makers, -- perfect! Not sure if you found one really nice thing was among the lists, just thought of it, it is in El's book, Christmas at Bears Paw. It's a garland, yo yo's stitched together in as long a string as you want. Have fun, my friend, carol/kittyquilt
