Quilting with Pretty Stitches & Yo-Yo’s (172)

Okay so I finally finished this quilt top, got it layered and now onto the quilting. This one is for ME and only ME…well maybe Tig can have a snooze once in a while on it too 😉

I’ve wanted a log cabin as long as I can remember and when our guild decided to do a Pizza Box Challenge (you do a block, add 1 meter of your FAV fabric from the block as extra then it gets passed from friend to friend 9 times so you have 9 blocks). Since I wanted a log cabin, I had each of the gals do a log cabin block for me…it worked out PERFECTLY!! I then proceeded to make a million more log cabin blocks…

I decided to have fun with some of my decorative stitches

and more stitches

Which stitch is your favourite? Once I’m done the blue side I’ll move on the cream side because I have cream variegated threads to match that side also 🙂 

I’ve also been playing with yo-yo’s and ALOT of them too…96 I’ll need in total and I’m almost halfway, YES!!

to give you perspective on size, yes that is my actual bobbin for my Janome

can you say teeny tiny adorable yo-yos that I love each and every one of them…
