Check out the super cool plates recently given to me- Thanks Lisa and Stuart!!!

I've always loved looking at the netting and tulle in fabric shops, they evoke visions of fun costumes, pretty ballerinas, princess curtains... but being a quilter I soon walk by and head for the down to earth cottons. 
That was until a week ago, when I came up with the perfect excuse to fill my trolley with wonderful fluro netting. 
To make Yo Yos!!

I made a few with just netting...

and then I wanted to see how I could play with the transparency of the netting. 
I stuffed the puff with a different colour netting


I then tried sewing netting over fabrics..


Some I liked...

I'm not sure about these ones with metalic fabric..


My favourites are these ones I made with flocked netting, but then I do have a thing for spots...


These netting YoYos are still at the experimental phase but I'm really like the effect. They have a fun, ethereal, floaty quality about them.


Hee hee...I kept joking about making a YoYo as big as my head... so I did...


A fun garden decoration...
