Clover USA » Make It » 9 patch diamonds and squares abstract table center piece

Clover USA » Make It » 9 patch diamonds and squares abstract table center piece
9 Patch can happen in all sorts of applications...  Here is a clever use of yo yo in varied
types of fabrics to include voile & cottons with the 9 patch clusters joined with juxtaposing
the squares and diamonds...  In this case I can share what the designer was thinking (cause I
designed it)..  I keep going back to it cause I'm not over wondering if it needs 'something else'
like the sheer black used as a single round around the the whole piece.  Pond
ering!!

One thing leads to another...

Whitney, your gift of song was truly something special....  Thank you for sharing...

 

I've never been one to have a care for what a celebrity thinks or does...  however...  I can't imagine going to my x-wife's funeral...  and because there isn't room for my 9 person entourage, leaving!!!  bobby brown is a real POS...

YoYoYo

My Yo Yo designs shown on the Clover Site...


The top design is from a table runner I made for Mom's dining room table off the formal living room... For this I used  rich gold, creme and burgundy satins.


the top right piece is really fun to look at and is a candle mat with a twist...


This piece to the right is pretty big and interesting.
I was considering adding and edge in one color. I enjoy using chiffon type fabric for a hint of shine and glitz- this picture doesn't do the piece and justice.  Thank you to Clover for recognizing my work!!
