All these posts about yo-yos has got me thinking. Is anyone interested in a swap? I'm willing to be a swap mama if enough people want to do it. How about CD template sized- a set of 50. (You could do more sets if you wanted, just as long as it's multiples of 50.) I'll have sign-ups open until March 14th, with yo-yos due April 11th. Fabric should be 100% cotton. Let's get yo-yoing!

Sign-ups:

1. PlumCreekMama-2 sets finished 4-06
2. sissysquilts received 3-24
3. shannanstitches-2 sets received 4-07
4. momof2jrt
5. cw246 received 4-07
6. yarnmamma received 4-28
7. Marcy received 4-04
8. therusticcottage
9. levisgrammy received 3-24
10. katmom received 3-28
11. Jeanna received 4-07
12. electricdunce received 4-11
13. Utahfarmgirl received 4-28
14. mommom received 4-15

This sounds like so much fun. Please sign me up. Thank you! I am working on a yoyo cover right now. A cd as a template sounds perfect.
Thanks again,
Take care everyone,

Count me in for one set! I was just thinking the other day that we haven't talked about yo yo's much lately. Yes, a CD is 4 1/2" which makes a 2" yo you - works great.

Ok, that tutorial did it. Sign me up. I did the last yo-yo swap and that was lots of fun. So I already have my cd and some fabric cut out.
Guess we are all in a yo-yo mood, Heather. I haven't actually had the opportunity to sew any of my other ones together. I don't have to many yet. It's always fun to swap though.

Okay! Sign me up! I haven't done one of these for about a year as my life is pretty much like a soap opera. But, I love making yoyos and I am so looking forward to this! Thanks Susan

yipeee, I have 24 done and the remaining 26 are cut out and ready for stitching....
Just need to get past working on the Taxes so I can kick back and finish the rest....
The yoyo's are sooo thereputic to stitch.....Perfect time Heather to get us going on these...now I reward myself with relaxing yoyo theraphy in the evenings & a cup of Farmgirl Tea.
