I am working on a butterfly quilt using my grandmothers hankies.. I have some of it on the designer wall right now.. I am short a few hankies so I have to go out on a hunt.. I really like the needle work.. I was given lots and lots of embroidery thread and dh said I should use it. Now, after looking at yours I think it would be a great idea. My grandmother lived in Indiana and cherished her hankies right up until she passed in dec,2010. One of my grand daughters can't take her eyes off of it,, so I think I will make it known that she is to have it some day.. thank you soooo much for inspiring me to keep moving forward on this one..
I can't wait to see it finished !!!
again,,, thank you thank you thank you.

so far this is where I am at....

when I wrote about the needle work above,,,I am speaking of fabric whisperers beautiful crewel stitching..
