THE HUNT FOR PEACH AND PINK!!



I was inspired to start a yo-yo quilt after seeing the picture and article at Sew Whats New (Click on link in left column and page down to the Yo-Yo quilts post), a few weeks back. The top picture was my inspiration. I really liked the colors and opted for almost the same with a little yellow thrown in. Plus, I was pleased because I already had the Clover Yo-Yo Maker in my stash of notions to be tryed! I need to make 1,232 yo-yo's for a throw 42" X 66"...so far I have made 580. Now, the only problem I seem to be encountering at this moment is that I am running out of peach and pink fabric! It takes a 4 1/2" square for each yo-yo so I'm putting a big shout out for anyone who could possibly help me in my pursuit of peach and pink squares. If this is a possibility please email me at lynnedemeter@charter.net and big thanks to you all. Thanks to all, Lynne.

DO I DARE?


Last week I decided I would try to change from a 2 column blog to a 3 column template. Very Scary!! Even though I saved everything first there was still that doubt that I could do this without losing all my stuff!! But, nothing ventured , nothing gained. So I gave it a shot. I did lose a few of my links, so I had to replace those. I recommend you make notes of sidebar links first because that was the only problem I had. But now I like it better, the 3 columns let me have the cat stuff on one side and the quilt stuff on the other. All in all, it was no different than making that first cut into a piece of fabric. What's the worst that can happen? If it's all wrong you just cut another piece of fabric!!
