Garden of Yo-yos
Nancy E. Schmitt
Materials: Yo-yos, vintage linen, metallic, rayon and cotton threads, various sizes of glass beads, crystals, sueded cloth
Terry loved to experiment with all things fabric and thread. She was famous in our Memory Cloth Circle for her invisibly hand-stitched and appliqued “Scraps on scraps” and Yo-yos. She would turn little bits and pieces of fabric into works of art with almost no scrap left unused, then give them away to anyone who admired them. She gave me this block that she’d already added some beautiful embroidery stitches to. I added her yo-yos, layering, then embellishing them with beads, threads and crystals. Additional stitching and beading was done to enhance this garden of yo-yos.
Thank you, dear Terry, for your beautiful work, your friendship and your ever present generosity.
