What's an animal yo-yo?

A Yo-yo animal is a doll, or "stuffed animal" made by stacking yo-yos together and then sewing through the center of the stack. You can make arms, legs, necks...whatever you want, then stitch them together to create an animal, or doll. I'm going for an octopus, but I may run out of yo-yos. :(

The are MADE out of the clothes they sent. Two of them were 'lost socks'!!

[QUOTE=tropit;7409634]Ellageo...those ornaments are so cute! Are they modeled after the clothing that they sent? Or, are they actually MADE of the clothing that they sent? Either way, they are so sweet!

I'm working on 2 quilts that must be done by Christmas, 2 more quilts that can wait until after Christmas, mug rugs, pillow covers, yo

My Christmas gifts
 
4 Attachment(s)
Below are a few gifts I made and will or have given away for Christmas.
I make tops every month and mail to a Church Quilt Guild in KY for Cancer patients. They complete them and then give to whomever needs one. They asked for male quilts since most woman make quilts for woman. So I concentrate on doing those for them.
The crocheted Sunflower blanket is for a Quilt friend I met here yrs ago and we communicate via email and will finally meet in person in 2016 after 5 yrs of talking and skyping online...She knits I don't, I crochet she doesn't so we're exchanging our other talents this yr instead of a quilted item.

Those little sweaters are as cute as can be.

Tropit, do you have a picture of the yo-yo animal? I can't visualize them. Sorry

All all are beautiful, but I really love the black pinwheels quilt. I think I can figure out the patern, unless you know the name. I love all the colors with the black prints. I want to make this one.
