Quilting Project: Fat Quarter Breeze

Guess what I have decided to make....?? It's for a bed and looks amazing guess yet??It's a quilt!! I saw this pattern in a book I got from the library, and decided it was perfect for a quilt, and would look amazing with the fabric I had. The pattern is called `Fat Quarter Breeze`.



The design

And the fabrics:

The fabrics are all from a collection called: Secret Garden by Lynette Anderson.

~Sewing Project: How to Make a Yo-Yo~

After making the yo-yo necklace I decided to do a post on how to make them. :)


First, cut a circle 4in. in diameter out of paper for your pattern. I used a 4in. for the big yo-yos and a 3in. circle for the smaller yo-yos. Next, cut out a circle from your fabric with your pattern. Sew all around the circle leave the end long enough so that you can pull it.

Next, pull both ends at the SAME time to gather the circle up (as shown in the picture below).

When it is all gathered flatten and pull the edges of the yo-yo.

Then just add a button and you're all finished!!

Sewing Project: Yo-Yo Necklace

Yesterday afternoon I completed my yo-yo necklace!! They are a REALLY easy and fun craft, plus they hardly take any time at all!  You can also make them to decorate clothes, purses, pillows etc.. Right now I'm working on making them into hair accessories. They are looking great!! As soon as I finish they'll be blogged about too. :)



I love the color combination. :)
