Oh I am so sorry. I hope you find some elsewhere that you can use. Any chance you could try to wash them (maybe in lingerie bage) and see if anything could be saved? I hope you feel better.

Soooo sorry! {{{{HUGS}}}} I hate mice! OK, can you selvage any of the stuff? If so, go with a plan B. Just because its not the original idea, doesn't mean you won't be able to still utilize and make a beautiful heirloom for her.

Oh, no! I can so relate, living in the country. They can chew through anything. I am sending hugs!

I cannot find any hidden ones anywhere, so I am thinking they were ALL in that stupid container. I did peek on eBay, looks like lots of people sell "lots" of vintage hankies... any advice with not being able to see the actual hankies and feeling them (meaning by buying online) ~ I have never bought something like this, and I don't have time to mess with icky ones... its going to take a month for me to at least wash / fold / iron / applique the butterflies... then time to piece & quilt... wedding is June. Any suggestions? Anyone on the boards have some extras I could buy? I don't know what else to do. I am getting ready to list a lot of my outgrown / extra fabrics later this week (had to wait until my 90 day mark)... So i've got some goodies to trade or I can buy outright, don't have a huge budget, but still feeling the pull to make this bfly quilt for this sweet kid. I don't think I will feel right making any other design for her, ya know?

So sorry for the destruction, maybe you can salvage a few if only pieces of them. Just for info before storing anything if you add dryer sheets( can be used ones too , bu twill take more) it will deter mice,I must say alot nicer selling than mothballs
