I am new to the yoyo swaps ( although I have made yo-yo's before) so I am pleased to have signed up for this one as I love Autumn colours. Off now to examine my fabric stash...I have some great fabric pieces left over from an Autumn quilt I am making, so it will feel very good to be using them up...and I'll make a spare set of yo-yo's for me at the same time, so I'mnot jealous of my partners :-)

Can I use the yo-yo maker tool? I believe the one that makes a 5 inch circle before the gathering is the extra large one.

yes midwestknitgirl, please use whatever tools you feel comfortable with....and welcome to the swap!

This swap is for autumn print yoyo's, however if you want to make Halloween print yoyo's please be sure to check with your partners before sending them....lots of folks think of Halloween when you mention autumn but not everyone. Thank you!

If it helps my partner with his or her decision making, I prefer having the autumn only and no Halloween prints. Thank you so much!

@perkl8r - This is a great idea for a swap and I'm looking forward to more of them. :-)

I haven't made a yo yo before... this sounds fun though, and I always admire them on Etsy... darn. I wish I hadn't given most of my fabric to my dear MIL. Ah well, have fun ladies! I am going to try this in my spare time and maybe I can catch up with you again! :)
