Hanky block idea
1 Attachment(s)
Someone posted a picture of Saucy Senorita quilt blocks on Pinterest. It is done with a bit of embroidery, applique and an antique hanky. I drew it out for my idea file for when I have enough hankies to do a quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]567099[/ATTACH]

Nice drawing and looks like you are going to have a great quilt with hankies. Please share your progress.
|

Getting ready to [ATTACH=CONFIG]567170[/ATTACH]trace out my embroidery pattern using my Crayola light box and my Frixion pen.

Beautiful, you are very talented.
|
Can't wait. Show us your progress as you go.

One of my guild sisters made a very similar block as a wall hanging. Very effective.
|
A very clever idea. I have seen hankies used for the skirts of colonial or gibson girls before. It is nice to see the update. I have seen beautiful hankies in antique stores-some with beautiful crochet or tatting on them. Whether you take the offer above or start collecting them on your own, you have a wonderful idea.

Great idea......trying to picture finished block....skirt will be folded hankie, bodice, solid color fused on fabric (?),face, hand, hair, foot, shoe to be embroidered? Hmm, I have some old hankies somewhere too....
|
That will be beautiful!
|
What a nice idea. I have one hanky from my mother and I put it inside one of those clear Christmas balls for an ornament on my Christmas tree. Of course only get to look at Christmas time. Like what you are doing.
|
Great idea!

Well it seemed like a good idea but it really won't be practical in a quilt. I could do a wall hanging I guess. I didn't want to sew the hanky all down so a quilt is out. Here it is anyway.[ATTACH=CONFIG]567271[/ATTACH]

What a lovely lady, I can see the hankie draped to make the skirt. Finding the right hankies these days will be a challenge, they're hard to find and tend to be packs of flimsy see through fabrics sold cheaply; you might need to find a fabric with bright Spanish/Mexican themes and make your own if you want a true Senorita lady. Good luck.

Very pretty skirt
|
Nice idea. It was a pattern some years back. I love it

Nice lady, Tartan! I also like madamekelly's idea. Maybe there is a way to do a small lap quilt.
