Thank you, Denise. Isn't there a theme, usually? or color?

sometimes but maybe we will do a fall colors theme next time. This time we will just swap whatever anyone chooses to as far as colors.

I would love that one! Fall colors are my favorite. Which do you prefer the larger hole from short stitches or tighter hole from long stitches. Was curious. And would still love to see sunshine site.

Debi,
I prefer using the yo yos that have the long stitches so the hole is smaller. Don't know what others like. The tutorial for the yo yos was posted by sunshine it was not her site. http://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/
is the address for her blog.

Hi! I think the yo-yo swap is a great idea. I am a quilter and would love to use up some of my scraps,however it's football season and I've got a son-in-law who's a college football coach and a granddaughter who's a cheerleader so I'm running around going to games all the time. Have hundred acres here in West Virginia, would love to raise chickens, have 3 great dogs and mares. This is my first message.
Love y'all and God Bless:)

Welcome Joyce, sounds like you will be going to places that are perfect to take yo yos with you and work on them.

Tthe 50 yoyos are any color and don't have to match. I think in the fall we may do fall color theme, but this one is all colors.

Sorry for not posting last night but we had some pretty bad storms yesterday and lost power until 3 am this morning.

I think I have everyone on the first post who is participating in this one. Since this is small group of swappers, I will get them sent out as soon as I get them all even if it's before the due date. But we will keep the due date of September 27th.

Hi Sunshine,
We posted that on page 2 and I posted your blog link for Debi too.
How are you doing? I haven't really seen you posting lately but maybe I'm just missing your posts.
take care,

How is everyone doing on their yo yos? Just thought I'd ask so we could bump this topic up.
