A sneak peek

Not sure if you've been following long enough to know we were flooded a month ago.

                         

                   We are in the middle of repairs so my drafting table looks like this.

                                Everything is coated in a layer of drywall dust.

                           

  I thought I would share a quilt I found while cleaning out my closet the other day.

I started working on it 9-10 years ago.

( I was at the antique store awhile ago and it reminded me of this project.)

It's a little more time consuming than I expected.

I had hopes of making it big enough for my queen sized bed.

We shall see..........

                      

                                      It's called a yo yo quilt.

                                  First you make all the yo yos

                     

        

               When grandmother made yo yos - it seems like it was forever ago,

                       She drew out a circle on the lid from a tub of butter 

                                        And used that as a template.

                     

I found this handy little gadget at the quitting store.

Basically the same principle of a rotary cutter that cuts circles.

Then you hem the circles and draw up the sewing thread.

I don't have a count but there are hundreds of them.

                    

I remember seeing where you could buy them on eBay and thought I would order white ones for a border. I've already completed several rows and its a nice break from the sweater I've been knitting.

That's what's going on in my " studio".

Have you recently pulled out an unfinished project?
