What to do with handkerchiefs?
#12
Years ago, I saw an absolutely BEAUTIFUL quilt using hankies. It had the handkerchief appliqued onto a shelf or table, so that it looked like a tablecloth, then had a teacup embroidered looking like it was sitting on the shelf. It was at the Mountain Quiltfest. If I find a picture that I took of it, I'll post.

I made lavender sachets. Fold hankie in half and then half again. (wrong sides together) Sew around use 1/2 inch to 1 inch border. Leave an opening to put in lavender. Sew closed. I made one for everyone in the family including in-laws for Christmas. A nice way to use the hankie and a small remembrance of my Mom. I found the directions on skiptomylou website.

Just the other day I saw a tutorial for making a baby quilt out of hankies. I may even have the pattern saved as a .pdf file. It was super cute!
