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!
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely, the colours, the embellishing - and the back too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible way to "solve"a problem--SO creative! I'd say you deserve a monument as well!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the embellisher tool is but this is gorgeous. You seriously need to write an article for Quilting Arts or something!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! I'm working through a barnacles inspired phase at the moment - great aren't they!
ReplyDeletesara, sara, sara, brilliant!
ReplyDeletedas sieht ja wunderschön aus! Eine ganz tolle Idee!
ReplyDeleteoh, what a funny idea!!!! I feel the childish wish to look, what's inside the "yoyos".
ReplyDeleteAnd: 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.
