Like that Butterfly quilt, though. Nice.

Here's a poor photo for which I apologize, of a dress made from vintage hankies!
And if any of you Floridians or Georgians were at the Florida Folk Fest, you will surely recognize the best band to come along in a long time, Jubal's Kin!

how about collecting christmas ones( i hear they are the most collectable) making mantle scarfs on point, tree skirts or just as point edging on them.
I also have vintage embroidery tea towels crocheted doilies from now gone family.
Some day i'll post ugly 12'' + crochet doillies the worst combo of colors. (what were these people thinking ) ahhh what to do with those?
