Check out the antique version of a little trivet I’m working on….
Follow this link and I’ll give you a little tutorial on how to make it along with an honest review of Accuquilt’s Go! Cutter. Â If that doesn’t tempt you, I’m having a little giveaway….No it’s not for a Go! Cutter but something fun.
I have question about the little yo-yo beauty you are working on. What size are they? Did you pre-wash the fabric? Did you use the plastic yo-yo tool or accu-cut the pieces and hand stitch? Karmen
Whoops! I know they are hand-stitched, but I mean running stitch without the plastic tool.
Silly me. I should have e-mailed you; now I look ridiculous because I didn’t read well first. That is an antique. Sorry. I’ll check out the tutorial.
I believe you are right that the GO! will allow my curved quilts in the quilt world because of how the dies are notched and said to make piecing much easier. At the same time, I’ve watched many videos at the Accuquilt site and love how the strips are sewn and put back onto the go for fast cutting again. I’m not a big yo-yo kind of gal but your little trivet is cute. I thought about the circle dies because of a circle quilt I would make and the quilting motifs I have to finish it off are perfect. But one can only do so much you know?
How cute! I’ve been looking for a hand project. Maybe I’ll do some Yo-Yos!
Sounds like Karmen is having a bad day! LOL. I love it and plan to come back this afternoon to visit the tutorial!

I love yo yos! I have a coverlet my Grandma made out of feedsack prints in the 30’s. Your trivet is charming.
