I was thinking - - in your town, if you have a local nursing home? They are always looking for things to hang around for the people to look at. Can't you just see those little ladies sitting around your wall hanging, telling their stories of their aprons and the ones their mamas wore?
If you wanted to, I am thinking that you could just loan the nursing home the wall hangings you are creating, that other one you made from handkerchiefs and lace ...
someone may offer you enough $ that you couldn't say no, but in any event, you would make a big difference in the lives of our senior citizens <wave>

Just adorable. And did you do the embroidery by hand? Brings back lots of warm memories. And your quilt goes with your avatar. They would look lovely in my kitchen it you can't find a place for them.
