I was so excited to receive a surprise package in the mail for my recent birthday. It was this sweet little bluebird coin bank. I just love it. Pictured behind it, is a Yo-Yo quilt pillow my dear Grandma made. The colors are amazing and so cheerful. Ever since Country Living magazine did a cover story on the Yo-Yo quilt several years ago, my Grandma has been lovingly making quilts and pillows. They are so beautiful and are lovely in any cottage style or shabby chic home. Yo-Yo quilts were popular in America in the 1920's to 1940's. They are small circles of fabric gathered up at the edges and sewn together. Many women used fabric from feed sacks. Sew Sweet!
As always, your blog impresses me! Keep up the good work! :)
