I ordered the Yo-yo maker from Clover and had to immediately give it a try! You find a Yo-yo tutorial at Lazy Girl Designs . Thank you Lazy Girl!!!
So I did in no time lots of yo-yos and then I thought that I don't have time to make a quilt or something with them... So I decided to sew them with zig-zag to a wonderful wool fabric I have. I wasn't happy with the result because the zig-zag looked so "machiney". Then I got this great idea to use the embellisher with some wool to cover the zig-zag! And -best of all- I don't need the zig-zag any more because the embellisher bonds the 3 layers!! This machine deserves a monument somewhere!!
I was so pleased with these barnacles and with the back of the throw where you get circles in all colors which look great too!
I intend to sew a fabric border to this piece.

Cool beyond words!
That is really lovely, the colours, the embellishing - and the back too!
What an incredible way to "solve"a problem--SO creative! I'd say you deserve a monument as well!
I have no idea what the embellisher tool is but this is gorgeous. You seriously need to write an article for Quilting Arts or something!!!
Looks fabulous! I'm working through a barnacles inspired phase at the moment - great aren't they!
sara, sara, sara, brilliant!
das sieht ja wunderschön aus! Eine ganz tolle Idee!
oh, what a funny idea!!!! I feel the childish wish to look, what's inside the "yoyos".
And: i could imagine a jacket made with the wooly side as the outside and all the yoyos inside!
Sarah, it's gorgeous!
Sara, this is wonderful. And the back looks really good too. What a clever idea.
