We have received a donation of an amazing vintage Yo-Yo quilt to raffle off at our celebration! As hand quilters, we know what effort goes into beautiful quilting and sewing by hand.
This one is incredible, not only in workmanship, but also in the arrangement of the fabrics and colors. The yo-yos themselves delightfully petite, a rarity. The quilt measures 47" x 54", a very convenient size for displaying in the home.
We have a bit of provenance for this lovely beauty. We know the name of the baby who received it in 1940 or 1941, the city where they lived, and that it was made for her by her mother. It was lovingly cared for by the recipient throughout her life, and came to us via the executor of her estate.
Tickets are $2.00 apiece, or three for $5.00, so be sure you bring your lucky dollars to our 2-day show.
