This is so precious. What a family heirloom you have made. I hope you have lots of sweet memories when you look at it.

Your hanky quilt has given me an idea. My husband's mother had hand embroider a whole bunch of white pillowcases on the cuffs. These were beautiful and very detailed. I can't use them because she liked to wash them in bleach and ironed flat with starch. Old school style. She has passed away before I had met her. I don't want to get rid of them but I can't use them either because they smell and they don't feel very sturdy. I have four young boys who are very anti-girlie. I put them away until I can figure out what to do but since I saw your hanky quilt I think I might cut them up and sew them into quilts. Thank you for your inspiration.
Here is a sample of her beautiful work. I see now that some has no cuffs. She just stitched at the opening. [ATTACH=CONFIG]48328[/ATTACH] |

Sabrina....Oh please do make something out of them. This kind of handwork is a lost art and making them into quilts would be lovely.
