    I'm collecting them to do a quilt and use them as skirts for Umbrella ladies. I also purchased a set of era ladies from Embroidery Library where you have the ladies body and you use them as skirts...Can't wait to do those projects...On the "too do list"

    Oh wow! She is going to be impressed! I can't wait to show her all of these ideas. Have to go to town now with a friend (OBGYN visit; I get to keep the older child while she is in with the doctor), but I'll get these to her ASAP. All look like great ideas to me! Thanks so much!

    Please tell her to keep a couple of the prettiest white ones for her daughters to use as the "something old" when they get married, and if she is fortunate enough to have a black one she will probably want to keep it to carry when she attends a funeral service. It will be so much nicer to use than to pull out a kleenex to wipe away the tears. In fact there are so many occasions that having a beautiful hanky in your purse is so much classier than having a tissue.

    Nancy Zieman of Sewing with Nancy did a couple of shows on how to embellish blouses with vintage hankies. Programs 2325 and 2326 are the two shows she did this on.

    Here's a link to the show information.
