Darla

A while back I  posted a picture of the yo yo barrettes I am making. Tonight I made 'Darla' to display those barrettes. I sandwiched 4 layers of warm and natural batting between two face shaped cotton fabric, sewing just crescent shapes for the eyes (as if they were closed) and then an O for the mouth.  The camera makes it look like I shaped the whole face! Fun!
For the hair, I took two shades of orange yarn, braided them and applied them to Darla's head with hand stitching. She looks stunning with all her clips in! :?}

Yo-yos? Hair Barrettes!

I made several hundred yo-yos years ago- I was going to make a year 2000 quilt with 2000 yo-yos! Talk about a yo-yo!!!

 Zoom in on my pretty little lace basket! I did leaf 'quilting' around the edge to help hold it all together.

3 yo-yos, a button or 3, on a barrette.  Good little seller at Art in the Park!
