OK ~~ I checked JoAnn's, Michael's. Hobby Lobby and Walmart. No heart shaped templates of ANY size..... so my adventerous mom and I tried our hand at making some last night. 4 hours later, we have 4 ~ yep count them 4..... "Heart Shaped Yo yo's" . We both agree that they like more like an actual heart than a Valentine heart... so, back to the drawing board this weekend. Please be patience..... (Here I thought this would be easy!)
Meanwhile, I received Judith's lovely package of "perfectly lovely" shaped hearts with extra goodies like beeswax (Which I had just put on my wish list!") and walnut shells. I also received a lovely bookmark and package of "Wonderfully shaped" hearts from Peggy along with a very cute bookmark. Thank you to both of you ladies.
My husband just keeps shaking his head.....

Thank you Judith (forgetmenot) for the lovely yo~yo hearts. I love the repro fabric you used and the adorable flower~shaped buttons. So nice of you to include the beeswax and ground walnut shells too. This has been such a fun swap.

| Hello Judith, yes I remember you from the first, I think you got in late, and I volunteered to send you some. I have received yours and from Sharon. I love all the yoyo's. Thanks for all your compliments. This is fun, hope that in a little while, someone will do this again, so we continue to get more yoyo's. Have not made up my mind what I am making probably a throw for my guest bedroom. Have a good Memorial Day! Farmgirl#946 Linda |

Joey...you can't do a lot with 6 but in this swap we all end up with 60 of them. Some of these gals did this swap before I did and in that round they got 72 yoyo's. So that is a lot of yoyo's to make into something. And some of us want to do another round after this.
Hope you will consider joining us for the next round.
blessings,

when i looked this up, i saw that some of the heart yo-yos had buttons in the center... so in this project buttons or no buttons? which is correct?

However the person receiving them prefers. Some want buttons and some don't.
It probably depends on what the receiving person is going to do with them.

I thought I posted this but can't find it..Let me start over: I have never made a yo-yo but I think I know how to do it. What I don't know is what I do with them (6 or 72) when they are done..make a quilt, towel, purse, what? I haven't seen any yo-yo things here so I really don't have a clue. Thanks for your help. Joey

You can actually use them for any idea you come up with. I am using mine for borders on pillow cases.I am making a quilt out of the round yo yos. And also table cloths for our nightstands.
If you go to the Clover website , they have ideas , since they manufacture so many different templates. Hope this helps you :)

Joey...I have a large heart shaped candy box...and when that is filled with heart shaped yo-yo's I am going to sew them together into that large heart shaped size and make a wall hanging out of it. I't will be a reminder of Farmgirl Love for me. I have met so many wonderful women on MJF...they are just the best.
I think each woman will have her own plan for her yoyo's. I am also going to put pin backs on some of them so they can go on a jacket, blouse, purse, hat, scarf or what-ever. I also send them to other farmgirls to use in their various crafts. The use for them is just endless!
blessings,
