Yo Yo Rows

Many of the quilts and projects that caught my eye at the Quilters of Trilogy show were made by Linda Orth.

We could be kindred spirits.

I especially liked Yo Yo Rows

Linda wrote that she found the pattern in the June 2011 edition of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.

A total of 409 yo yo's in all.

I love this quilt!

I'm always on the lookout for stash busters.

So different than the traditional yo yo quilt, and also a great way to use up scrap fabrics.

One Man's Tie is Another Woman's Purse

Linda also made this cute little purse out of a man's tie.

Can you see how the closure flap is at the end of the tie?
(sorry, my pictures are not the best)
I've been hunting on the Internet for a link to the pattern and found that it's a Karen Fyke Original.

The pattern isn't listed, only a purse for sale on Etsy.

Anyone else have more information?

Love the added vintage button.
Looks like a quick, easy project that would be fun to make in a class or at a guild meeting.
