    Default Garden Twist Accessories - Hankie Pillow

    One of my FB groups had postings on hankie quilts. I only had 1 hankie, so I made it into a pillow to match my Garden Twist bedroom set. The back is a fussy cut of the bouquet fabric. Like how it turned out. Now I have to find more hankies to make a quilt, wallhanging??

    Very pretty. I love this fabric from In the Beginning. I made a Double Irish Chain for a friend.

    when I go to estate sales I keep my eyes open for hankies. I saw a box and just that quickly another gal snatched it up. She bought the whole box. She was kind enough to let me drool a little. Some of the most beautiful I've seen in a long time. Similar to yours and others with lace tatted edges and cutouts. A gorgeous black (for mourning) with black lace. She got the whole box for $10.00. It was an 8x8x8 box and packed full. So try estate sales. Men's hankies are great for backing on pillows.

    For some reason, I've never thought of using a hankie for a pillow. Such a great idea and you did a great job. It looks wonderful

    When I go to estate sales, I look for doilies. Now I will start looking for hankies.

    I have one hankie that was my mothers (she's been gone 30 years) and it is quite dainty so I put it in one of those clear Christmas balls and hang it on my Christmas tree - it's very special to me.

    What a great idea! I have some of my mom's hankies I'll have to do this with!
