yo-yo flowers

A bunch of us meet every other Friday night for "craft night", an evening to get together and craft and eat and gab and so forth. We try to alternate between bringing your own craft: knitting, embroidery, watch repair, furniture building, sewing, writing, what have you and all making something together. This week I brought in the wonderful tutorial that Heather Bailey has posted on her blog on how to make yo-yos out of fabric. We all made a bunch of flowers out of yo-yos and buttons to fill our vases over the long winter months ahead. Here are some photos of what we ended up with. Heather's tutorial is well written, a snap to follow, and has beautiful photographs of the process. Thanks Heather!
