What a lovely idea! Great way to show off those treasured items!
|
A nice use for linens. Nice job.
|
Very nice keepsake.

What a lovely quilt. I also have some & plan quilt in future.
My suggestion for getting linens white. I put warm water in bucket --add drops of laundry soap and mix in a scoop of OXI clean. Soak the cloth for a day or two then rinse well. If you are in a sunny area lay old sheet on grass then lay linen/case/ cloth whatever on the sheet out in sun for it to dry. May have to repeat. For yellow type from head sweat I also use "GOOP" which is a hand cleaner for mechanics bought at hardware etc store. It's a white cream that I used for years to take marks off clothing. Rub the goop into the damp pillowcase --put aside for few days then wash/dry. Will not harm colors either What fabric and color did you use for the back of your quilt? Think that's all my questions. |

Your quilt reminds me of my mother, she used to embroidered pillow cases, but she has passed away, and I don't have any of them, I don't know if there are any of them left or not. Two of my brother's have moved in, and things are getting broken, and thrown away. They throw away a lot of things that are not broke, too. They burned all of momas Christmas stuff that I would have liked to have. One of my brother's did save a ceramic santa, and her unused cards, and gave them to me. Some of the Christmas stuff I made and gave her. I sure do miss my mother, a lot. You did a great job on your quilt, and I know you will enjoy your treasures the family members made. It is a lot better to make use of things, than to leave them in a closet.
