    There are lots of patterns out there using old hankies. I have a box of old ones that I really want to make up in a quilt one day. One of those things on that mental list of things I want to do. Enjoy!

    What a joy to recieve! I have collected "old hankies" for years and saved them up for a project. Noticed there is a booklet out now on making quilts from hankies. Just not sure if I want to put them all together? They are so nice just to look at by themselves.

    So much fun ahead! I've been collecting embroidered hankies on Ebay, use them to make toddler jackets. There was an article in Creative Needle magazine years ago that got me started...Heres a few photos;
