Do any of you sew yoyos? I used to when I was a girl to make small quilts for dolls and placemats. I am back to sewing them once again and love it. This time I add button centers and they are too cute!

What have you done with your yo-yos?

I plan to use some for:

-scrapbook pages
-framed art
-hair clips and bows
-brooches/pins
-gift toppers
-and just store some in a canning ar to look pretty

What great ideas Peg! I have never sewn yo-yo's before. I guess I will need to learn how.

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start; anyone can start from now
and make a brand new end.

I watch how to make a america Quilt last night, and one of them was wearing a yo-yo cape. I was surprize to see it. I never caught it the first time around.
