Yo Yo Quilt
I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. My first quilt was made in 1975, over 50 years ago. This quilt, from the 1920s, was made by my great-grandmother in Conyers, GA, and passed down to my grandmother and then to me. The fabric consists of feed sacks, old dress fabric, aprons, and old shirts. It is 100% cotton and hand-pieced, featuring more than 2,000 handmade yo-yos. All the women in my family worked on it, but when I received it, I began repairing it.
It is very special to me!
