OK Ladies we are going to do another 2/2/2 with a twist.
These will be all Valentine Yo-Yo's: we will do 2 RED/2 PINK/2 WHITE AND please look for the prettiest valentine buttons you can find...or just some really fancy buttons. I know that JoAnnes has many many varieties of buttons and I am sure Michaels, Hobby Lobby and other places do too. Lets really go for the glam this time. And will each person please send them out on Valentine Cards (bought or home-made) I will leave that up to you.
I will start sign-up NOW and will go through January 10th...PLEASE MAIL OUT BY FEBUARY 4TH...SO, everyone will have them by Valentine's Day.

Hi All Sign me up for the swap. One question. Do you want the material solid color or are you talking about 2 that are on a mostly red, 2 mostly pink, and 2 mostly white? I am all for the glam on the buttons. I love shopping for them.

Dianne...got you down! And good question: you can absolutely use patterned prints...just make sure they are mostly pink, mostly red and mostly white. But you can also use solids if you so choose. It is up to you.

Thanks for the info Peggy. Margo said we were up to six swappers. That is great. I still haven't decided what I am going to do with the ones I just got. I am thinking accents on place matts.

I think there have been some round yo-yo swaps also. For me ... I got enthralled with the heart shape. But anyone can hostess any shape they want to...Hint! Hint! If you are wanting to do round or any other shape you can do (?) why not hostess it? I am sure you would get others wanting to sign-up.

Hi Peggy, What is the largest number of participants you have ever had in a yo-yo swap? I am just wondering what to expect. I made my first set this morning.

Hi Trish...so far I think the most was 10 and the least was 7. And we do the six yo-yo's for each person. They go pretty fast, don't you think? Well, you are probably the first one to make any this round so far. I went and bought new fabric...that is as far as I have gotten. Probably will be going like crazy after Christmas.
Penny girl...are you really having to stay in bed??? Oh, poor sweetheart, I hope you are getting some of that reading done that you have been wanting to do. A good book can take your mind off your aches and pains and transport you to somewhere more exciting. That is why I love to read. When I get my teeth pulled for an upper denture next month...I will have 6-8 weeks with no teeth. I think I will be hiding out a lot and so, I will be having lots of time for crafting and reading. LOL I know my Vanity is showing!!!
Hugs, peggy

Just checking in to see if we have a count yet. Maybe a guess? I will be at the fabric store this next week so I thought I would look around for some great fabric and buttons.

Oooooops forgot to give you the count last night.
So, far...7 of us: Margo,Penny,Judith,Linda,Trish,Dianne and Me.
Come on Farmgirls...come join-up and play with us! Heart Shaped Y0-YO's are so much fun.
Also, my crafty maidens...go to the thread "What Are You Working On Today" and BobbinRobbin/Sharon (who did one or two heart shaped rounds with us) just finished an 80 yr. old Quilt Top and it is GORGEOUS...but she added round yo-yo's in the center of each flower (?) I guess you would call them. It is awesome! Give her some congrats on that beautiful piece of work!!! It is Stunning.
Hugs and loves, Peggy

Good Evening or Morning...which ever it is. I just wanted to show you gals a great idea I came up with to use those plastic containers that you get from Fruit and Veggie Party Trays this time of year. I was going to throw these out and then it hit me...hey, I could put my buttons in there when I am making my yo-yo's and it would be so easy to see and get to. What do you think?
love ya, peggy
