Here is another yo-yo Xmas tree hanging that was made a few years ago. This was a great way to lessen my button stash! After sewing clothes since my teen years, there is quite a huge collection and quite a variety showcasing different stages of my life.
This hanging is so vibrant with the colours, the buttons and the beads. A bead was sewn in those empty spaces where the yo-yo’s are joined together. The beads give it a shine when the outdoor light just hits it so.If you’ve never made a yo-yo …well, try it at least once. They are so easy to make and are a great take-along project.
Have a great day!
Edit:
I got this pattern from www.freepatterns.com/ (click onto Holiday patterns and scan through the photos) and you can download the pattern.
Mmmm.. So pretty! And a trip down memory lane as well!
ReplyDeleteBravo!
You are really going to town on those yo-yos. The tree looks gorgeous. The quilting lines really add to it.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI just love your yoyo christmas tree, must make one for next year, what a fabulous idea.
What a beautiful quilt...I love that you used so many colors! What fun...
ReplyDeletewoops can I be so bold as to ask what size you made the yoyos
ReplyDeleteOk, you've convinced me -- I NEED to make one of these. But -- not until AFTER this Christmas is over!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty, and that brought back a few memories with the smilie buttons... I love the doves you've added to it. I'm never dissapointed when I visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis yoyo thing is cute! I had a friend who made entire quilts out of those things...not sure why. Doubt I could and again, not sure why I would...LoL, you make it look easy!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn´t have noticed the beads unless you told us. I just thought that the quilting acted like the tree was sparkling and it does. It is a beautiful little quilt. Now I have big plans for next years Christmas presents, at least I will have try just for me.
ReplyDeleteJust love your yo-yo Christmas tree, what a great idea....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wallhanging. I've seen these done all in green with red buttons in the center of the yo-yos, but I really like yours with all the colors better! And..I'm going to consider a blue background one of your trademarks. You seem to use a blue background often and everything you show with one is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI really love the dove on the top of the tree, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the tree. It is so cheerful and bright. Hmm -- guess that goes on the list of things I'd like to make...for next Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose Marie, love the yo-yo tree...what a great idea and I love the use of buttons!!! Much better than just a button tree. Your winter quilt for Tonya's class is just awesome...one of the nicest I've seen. Hugs, Finn
ReplyDeleteI love the yo yo's, but I really love all the snowmen in the picture on the left.
ReplyDeleteIt is brilliant! I think everyone should have one!
ReplyDeleteOMG! how beautiful vibrant and colourful. It really puts me in the mood to work on one for next yet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made yo-yos since the 1980's but this makes me want to do some more. Maybe a few a day...
ReplyDeleteLove this christmas tree! Now I have another project to add to my "growing" list of things to make ;-).
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI just won a YoYo maker kit at Melissa's (melsownplace.blogspot.com) cottage warming party, and love this tree. I think that is my next project to start. I love it, and what a great way to practice yoyo's. Thank you for posting it. I can't believe I just found your blog today, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi. Very nice a quilt work.
