Hen and Chicks Studio central Iowa quilt shop and retreat centers in Conrad, Iowa, celebrating 13 years of inspiring quilters

Welcome to Take Home Tuesdays at 2!

Each week we come to you LIVE on Facebook at 2 p.m. CST!
Today, we are making Yo-Yo's!  

Look at these beautiful yo-yo's made by Heidi's grandmother!
Here they are all stitched together to make an adorable table topper!
Not up to making a big project with yo-yo's?  We understand, but just start simple with one of these ideas OR one of your own!
Trace & cut circle.
For a 'finished' circle (no raw edges showing), fold over edge slightly and start a basting stitch.  Jami ties a knot at the end of her thread.
Use a running gathering stitch all the way around your circle.
Pull your threads to gather evenly.
Stitch and tie off your threads after you have gathered your yo-yo.
So MUCH FUN!  Go be creative!!!!!
