Yo-Yos from 1932

This clipping is from Capper's Weekly, a news

paper in Kansas during the 1930's and beyond.

I had to show the reverse which is a story about a boy in India having a harrowing experience. (Enlarge photo to read.) There are two

political cartoons - one about prohibition - and a grammar hint.

The next photo is the yo-yo bedspread my

mother made in the 1930's. She finished it after 1959 and used some (brighter) fabrics on the

last corner. They were from shirts I made for her grandson and from maternity dresses I had made.

This is all made by hand, drawing those little circles up by basting and fastening them into that shape.

Then all were sewn together by hand using an overhand stitch.

 

I counted them several years ago and there are 2450 yo-yos of color and 756 white yo-yos.

That is a total of 3206.

Just look what can be done if your eyes are not on a tv screen or computer monitor or an Iphone.
