Chance to win a beautiful hand-sewn Yo Yo Spread! Drawing to be held during the Whalehead Club “Arts in the Park” on September 1st, 2010.
Meet Genevieve Baden, a southern Maryland resident who loves to make beautiful bed coverings known as “Yo Yo” spreads. This 98” x 72” spread took Genevieve two years to sew. She has donated her masterpiece to the Whalehead Club to raffle as a
fundraiser for the ongoing preservation of the elaborate winter residence in Corolla, NC dating back to the 1920s.
Genevieve was taught to do the Yo Yo pattern by a loving aunt when she was around 12 years old. A running stitch, when applied to a kaleidoscope of colored fabric creates an instant family heirloom in her hands. She remembers being helped to choose her colors, then make a circle, go around, turn it under and anchor it. Now in her mid 80’s Genevieve’s practiced hands can repeat the pattern effortlessly, keeping alive an antique tradition which has almost disappeared since homemakers choose less time consuming tasks in favor of instant gratification purchases.
The beautiful spread is displayed on the front porch of the Whalehead Club. Raffle Tickets are 1 for $1 or 6 for $5. Come to the Whalehead Club at Currituck Heritage Park to buy your chances. Or you can purchase tickets by calling 252-453-9040. The winning ticket will be drawn at the Whalehead Club “Arts in the Park” festival on Wednesday September 1st, 2010.
