Yo-yo mania!

I’ve set a completely random goal for myself this summer to make 1,000 yo-yos.  Not the walkin’-the-dog, around the world type yo-yos, but the little quilty variety.  I have no rhyme or reason to size or fabric choices, just a need to use up a lot of scraps, and a hope that at the end of the summer, when faced with this pile of yo-yos, I’ll be inspired to do something with them, and well on my way to having enough to do it! 

I’ll keep you updated with a little sidebar here on the blog.

If you have any brilliant ideas for what to do with them once they’re finished, I’d love to hear them!

Double Wedding Ring Quilt

When Kel and I got married, my Mom asked me what I wanted for a wedding present, and since I had always loved her double wedding ring quilt, I told her I wanted one, too. She laughed. Last year, at some point in a family discussion, this moment was brought up again, and it was decided that the quilting ladies in my family should make one for us. So for our 10th wedding anniversary last year, they surprised us with this one! It is beautiful! This picture does NOT do it justice. It hangs on the wall in our bedroom, and makes me smile - I love it.
