Yo-Yos

not the child's toy

but these fun circles sewn with scraps of fabric

You have seen quilts made with hundreds of these yo-yos.

Sis Boom has a tutorial.

I read it - but decided I needed to sit down with someone 

to figure out this yo-yo thing.

This winter I attended a how-to session offered by Ambler Farm.

A wonderful lady from the deep south

showed us how to make yo-yos.

Painstaking work but i figured it out.

I have a new appreciation for those yo-yo quilts.

Preston Bailey's circle designs 

not sure where this lamp came from

it is made from cut-up plastic containers

sometimes i feel like i am chasing myself around in a circle

contemporary fashion yo-yos  

button wear

last but not least, circles of needlepoint
