Retired and living in Arizona, born and raised in Missouri. I am an amature quilter but I do enjoy it. Have made quilts for my eight nieces and nephews when they graduated from High School. Many baby quilts as well.

My Grandmothers Hankies. My Aunt passed and my cousin found our grandmothers handkerchiefs and asked if I would make a quilt. I hand quilted it since the hankies were so delicate.

A big welcome from Ireland - I love your hankie quilt too - it's a shame we hardly ever use them these days, you can't make a quilt from Kleenex, can you!

Welcome from Minnesota. Your hankie quilt is lovely. I've got a dozen or so from my mother that I've been planning to put into a wallhanging or quilt.

Thank you so much. I've never joined one of these so be patient :D

Thank You! It was a delicate project but with so many memories I really did enjoy it. I remembered taking some of them to Church when we visited my Grandmother. I have her 'hankie box' but my Aunt ended up with the hankies.

yellah51 10-22-2009 01:52 PM

Hi and thank you. That's a beautiful wall hanging.

Hello and a big welcome from West Virginia. Love the hankie quilt
Did you reenforce them somehow before stitching? I have my DG's and would love to make something as pretty as this.

yellah51 10-23-2009 12:53 PM

Hi Cindy,
I was born in Kansas City but from age 4 lived in Belton, just south of KC. My sister lives in Wichita KS. I've heard of Eldon but not sure I have actually been there. :D
