I'm almost embarrassed. My well intentioned yoyo along grew stale with all the happenings of the last quarter of 2011, but thanks to a few nudging emails that have come in over the last few weeks, I decided to pick up the camera, turn on my machine, and get the next step of the yoyo along posted. So thank you to those of you who have been patiently waiting. I hope it will have been worth the wait for you once you start seeing your quilt come together. For those of you who are newer to sewtakeahike, I posted the first part of the yoyo along here, just click the button and it will take you to the first step. I have yet to finish my yoyo's myself, but I've given myself permission to take my time since I know this will be the one and only yoyo quilt I ever make this size! Here we go!! I'm not a huge fan of hand sewing, plus I want this quilt to be more durable, so I decided to teach you how to sew the yoyo's by machine. My bernina has a stitch called the bar tack stitch. I like using the bar tack stitch because it automatically does a tie off stitch for me at the beginning and end of each bar tack. If your machine has this stitch, then great! If not, just set your zig-zag stitch to a zero length and it will achieve the same end goal. My bar tack stitch is highlighted here, #25 I set the length to .4 and the width to 4. Also, if you have access to an edge-stitch foot and some 50wt aurifil, that would be very helpful. I like using the 50 wt. aurifil to sew them together because it is strong, but thinner so the stitches aren't as noticeable. Step 1. Pull 16 yoyo's from your bag of 1008 and arrange them into blocks of 4X4. There are limitless ways you can arrange your yoyo's. By color, with stripes of different colors, with white based fabrics in the middle square or the outside edge, the same color for each point, and any other combo you can think of! For me, I like it best random and scrappy. Step 2. Using your bar tack stitch (or modified zig zag), sew your yoyo's into strands of 4, making sure to keep...

What a show, the biggest quilt show in the world, with between 35 000 and 45 000 visitors per day going through the doors. The show is held in The Tokyo Dome, which is just a 5 minute walk from The Tokyo Dome hotel and conveniently close to Starbucks. From arriving at the doors, where orderly queues are moving slowly forward, through security, where you are politely asked if it is okay to search your bag, then through the revolving doors past the lockers and food and drinks kiosks, where you are guided to the steps going down the seating area into the stadium, you are aware that this is a very well organised and well run event. Inside the Dome Not spectators, lunch timers Again, not spectators, visitors resting before returning to hotels or homes Hardly any Westerners around, but we were immediately welcomed and given English translations of the guide maps. Two magazines are available for purchase, one with photos in of all the quilts in the show and another with all the award winning quilts in the show. These were duly purchased at the end of the day in order to avoid carrying around all day, also after realising that taking photos of quilts without people parts in it would be near impossible, even though at only 5ft2, for the first time in my life, I could easily see over the heads of most other spectators (LOL). Spent the first morning going around looking at all the quilts on display, started with framed quilts, then moved on to bags before braving the crowds at the traditional quilts section. Next attempted to get a look at the award winners, but no chance, couldn't get close enough to read the names let alone see any detail, so decided to move on to Modern quilts. By now it was time for a break, so met up with lovely Lynda from Newcastle to have a coffee and what we thought was going to be a lovely ham sandwich (turned out to be a pork schnitzel between 2 slices of bread, which we ate long toothed, having spotted the egg and ham salad sandwiches which our waiter called vegetable sandwich, which came with some lovely crisps too - we didn't get any, so made a resolution to order the 'vegetable' sandwiches tomorow). Now time to visit some of the vendors, with first stop Yoko Saito's stall (I have after all come to buy fabrics to do her Mystery Quilt). Spent the best part of the afternoon here, being jostled to and fro between eager customers - as polite as the Japanese ladies are under normal circumstances, if there is competition for fabric, it is everyone for themselves with elbows flying in all directions. Having made my not inconsiderable purchases here, I head up the steps to the locker rooms to offload my bags before returning for some more vendor support and bumped into Scottish Lorna, who is very keen not to waste time talking and just get back down to shopping. Decided to tackle sections D and E of the Vendors, before returning to the hotel for supper. Just managed it in time before the show closed at 6.30pm. My shopping after day 1 Day 2 and I decided to do vendors in sections A,B and C first today before going around quilts on display, as I noticed yesterday that it quietened down later in the day at the quilts. Even more jostling today than yesterday, and some of the aisles are so crowded that you can hardly move. Decided to start at the furthest point from the entrance but not really any better, so just persevered and moved slowly along. Had lunch with Lorna, Lynda and Janette and had lovely 'vegetable' sandwiches with crisps this time. After lunch looked at the rest of the quilts on display that I have not seen before, before meeting up with Lorna and returning to the hotel. Had free time to do what we wanted on the third day, so returned to the show for last minute shopping with Lynda and Lorna and had another walk around all the wonderful quilts on display. There are so many wonderful quilts on show that it is really hard to decide which photos to post here, but I have had to make a decision, so here is my selection of quilts that I have enjoyed seeing the most: Framed or Wall hangings: Very quirky flamingoes Came second in this category Royal Wedding Love this one The one I would most like to do So much fun Quilts: In no particular order, some with detail Other more modern quilts: Embroidered obi at the show

Yes you read it right. Square yo-yo quilt. This quilt was so different for me. That's why I had to make this, and I'm not talking about the quilt. I'm talking about the colors. White-Black and Red. After cutting out the pattern and the batting. I sewed the sides together. Put the batting inside and sewed up the center. I used the zig zag stich, to piece them together. I still have to sew a few corners together. But over all I realy like the way it turned out. Even the colors.

Have just been to see an exhibition at Washington Arts Centre, Tyne and Wear called "Make Do and Mend; innovate-renovate-rejuvenate" Showing creative adaptations of existing objects for our times , it was mostly 3D recycling design or refashioned furniture. You can see an image and find out more at thttp://www.artscentrewashington.co.uk/production-details.aspx?id=80 I had missed the call for artists otherwise I might have submitted this armchair which I made for Delight in Design, a Designed and Made ( www.designedandmade.co.uk)exhibition a few years ago. I picked up the chair for £15 in a junk shop and transformed it in to this using old head squares, given to me or acquired in charity shops. I manipulated these into suffolk puffs which I sewed on to the contours of the chair and did traditional hexagon patchwork in some areas which used up all the scraps. I couldn't stop there and made a matching lampshade
