Halloween star quilt in progress

This was posted on my blog 3 /07/08

In case you all thought I forgot about this project, or scrapped it, I haven't; it was just put on the back burner for a while. I still plan on having it done for next Halloween. I have included one of my children as a size-sort of reference. She is a typical 6-year-old in size, if that helps all who wondered how big this was so far. End goal is big enough to fit on my double pillow-top king-size bed. I have a ways to go, to say the least.

This I posted on my blog on June 2

From my blog Sunshine's Creations

This is a work in progress that I work on in the car while my husband drives the first 1 hour of our commute and the last hour at night. So, it only is getting worked on two hours a day or less. When done, this will fit a 24 month/2T-size little girl. I don't have one of those; this is just an experiment with sheer fabric and yarn to try and make an image I had in my head. It needs 4 more yoyos around arm/neck openings. So far it is coming out as I thought it would. It also needs crocheted sleeves and the skirt part finished. The white part is the slip a 24 mos/2T-sized little girl would wear under the dress.

This last photo is not true to color, but it shows you how sheer the yoyos are

All the supplies in this project, from the fabric to the yarn to the thread, came from thrift stores at differnt times.

Pat has shown us a wonderful idea with yoyos i would have never of thought of this..Pat is so talented...

Found some colorful pot holders at the $1 store....

2 for $1...Had to dress them up with some yoyos..

here is what I did...crocheted a edge around the outside in orange...started off with a blanket stitch..a row sc..next row 3DC in sc of previous row..sc..etc 3DC 1 sc all around.

blind stitiched yoyos in the shape of a flower onto both pot holders.....they are so colorfull........and in the fall spirit.....

will spray them with scotchguard frabic spray to protect them a bit from getting dirty fast when used....

thought you would like to see what I have been up to..

Keep on Yoyo ing......
