that's incredible. I love the look of hand work but am too lazy so I use my embroidery machine.

That is a beautiful quilt! It would take me 15 years to make all those yo-yos... LOL I just started on some yo-yos today. Not sure what I'll make with them yet, but it just felt good to be working on something. I'm new here too, welcome !!

I'm so glad you liked the quilt...and yes, I've got a new project started....a yo-yo coverlet.....300 done--only 1200 to go! I finished 30 while waiting in the ER for my aunt to get treated this morning.
I really don't know what I'll do with the quilt.....I started it as a "someday" quilt...you know, someday my kids will drag it around, but the Lord has other plans.....I'm a 18 month cancer survivor and kids are not going to happen......My boyfriend's kids are too old to use it, but maybe step grandchildren some day.
I love looking at all the stuff ya'll make on here. I LOVE the mini aprons and am so tempted to join the swap, but with my track record, I don't know how that would work. |
