Lazies, Our new Yo Yo Cutie Pins are versatile little sweet hearts. This week, I have some tips and possibilities to share. Perfect for a holiday lapel pin, a simple bow turns a Cutie into a mini wreath. After you are finished making the yo-yo and pull the threaded needle to the back, pull the needle to the front again where you want to add a ribbon.

Take a stitch through the center of the ribbon, then tie it in a bow. Take another stitch or two through the knotted bow to secure. Pull the needle to the back and finish off.

Lazies, meet our newest pattern, Yo Yo Cutie Pins! Aren’t they adorable!!! The second fabric, peeking through the gathered opening is a modern twist on the traditional yo-yo favorite. Feature a fabric, picture, button or more. Add a pin, ribbon, magnet to create a keepsake to wear, hang on the tree or fridge.

Why These Cuties Are Special
One thing you’ll notice about these yo-yos is how crisp and clean their lines are. It’s almost like they’ve been starched, standing at attention. The secret is slipping a little of our Stiff Stuff interfacing inside the yo-yo to give it structure and substance. It’s a perfect pairing.

Lazies, I’ve come across a couple of quilty products I’d like to recommend for Cyber Monday shopping. And maybe you’ll find  a gift or two for your favorite quilting buddy. Be sure and treat yourself while you’re at it!

Everything Bags
I picked these up a while ago and had a chance to finally use them on my recent trip to Houston Quilt Market. I fell in love with these zip project bags. Here are three reasons why I am recommending these over any old generic zip project bags.
- Function: they each have two compartments. A main zip mesh section and an inside zip pocket behind the colored panel. I could easily tuck one inside another, too. See the pic below.
- Colorful: I love these fun colors. Each size bag is a different color. Color coding helped me keep track of things and they’re pretty.
- Price: they are sold as a 4 pack of different sizes and it’s a good value.
