Thanksgiving Pie Mat gift idea

When I think about Thanksgiving I think of pie. Yes, pumpkin pie but that's not MY favorite. My favorite is apple pie with apples that I have picked myself from the apple trees in our back yard. This fall I made my usual dozen pies from fresh-picked pies and put them in the freezer for winter pie nights. It's always great to take a pie to someone's house to share for supper.

And what better way to play with yo yo's than to make up the Pie Mat pattern that Jeanne created. It is easy to put together and looks wonderful as a centerpiece on your table. It would be a great hostess gift for Thanksgiving dinner. Check out our web site to order the pattern-and don't forget that any order placed in November will be sent out with an Extra-Large Clover Yo Yo maker to share the fun.

New month-new patterns!

We will be posting our free design for November early next week. Be sure to peek at it and see if it can be used in your holiday gift-making. And remember that every order placed in November will be sent a free Extra-Large Clover Yo Yo maker-our way of saying "Use those scraps"! Only 55 days until Christmas-are you ready with your hand-made gifts??? No surprise but we aren't!! Time to get to work.

FREE YO YO MAKER WITH ORDER OF PATTERN!

Just because we feel like it (and are working on yo yo's AGAIN!), we are offering to add an extra-large yo yo maker to every order that is placed with us through November. Please take a quick look at our web site for more details. We'll be giving more details here soon about a give-away we are planning of 12 fat quarters. You'll love them all!

We've been thinking a lot about the Stock Market scare that is so all-consuming for all of us. And when we get a little anxious, it's time to start stitching-and what better way to stitch than to spend time making yo yo's???? But, since we don't think all our stitching buddies have a yo yo maker (and may be saving pennies for Christmas gifts!), we decided to share what we have. Just go to our site and place an order for a pattern-we'll toss in the Extra-Large Yo Yo Maker for you to play with while watching the news!
