Nice to meet you DonnaRae
Yes, I watched my Grandmother sew when I was little, and I thought..WOW...and Now all these years later My grandaughter is wanting me to teach her...Infact I am teaching her to work on a yo-yo quilt...She is learning..which a Yo-Yo quilt is realy not a quilt..but it's lovely laying on a bed...I am no pro..but i love Fabric and all this new stuff they have out..Like the Quilt in a day shows I like Eleanor Burns..But I'm glad I have some place noe to come to ask questions... :mrgreen: i am always learning...

DonnaRae

WOW a yo yo quilt, how big? It takes a while with yo yo's unless they are realy big yo yo's. Well I think it will be easier for her to learn with you teaching her. I sure she is glad you are! Have fun.

Ha Hanna & Donna!! yes, it takes alot of yo-yo's donna..I use a Discs DVD that come in the mail for my Pattern yo yo's..and after it's sewn, it is about 2 inches..something to do when watching Desperate Housewives..He He..or Day's of our Lives...LOL...and Hanna them coasters sound like a good X-mas Gift........

DonnaRae

Yeah, I have yo yo's all over the house. A couple of months ago my husband and I went to Alaska (He is from there, we live in SC) and during the trip on flight I made even more yo yo's. Don't know what I will ever do with them. Hey I will send them to your grand daughter. They are two inches also. HEE HEE. Then maybe someday that quilt will be made. :wink:

Hi Bev, I'm also teaching my granddaughter to quilt. She's 8 years old so she doesn't have a long attention span, but she's really excited about learning. She pieced a small wall hanging that she's quilting now. Next we are going to start on crazy quilt blocks for another wall hanging. How old is your granddaughter?
