I found a fun article on ways to repurpose hankies. It seems I always find a plethora of these at estate sales and wonder what I could do with them. Well here ya go.......

It's always a great idea to grab those vintage hankies whenever you can because there are so many cool ideas for using them nowadays. Megan celebrated vintage hankies in the Oct/Nov 2015 issue of the magazine and it was delightful to work with all the beautiful colors and far-out prints!

Another way is to make a crazy quilt. Cindy Brick wrote a book called "Hanky Panky" a number of years ago and I took a class from her. We made a pillow-sized quilt out of hankies, trims, buttons, lace etc. What fun!

So far, I'm not ready to cut up most of my hankies yet! I have used some on some of my "Linens and Lace Collage" aprons, but I had purchased them just for that purpose. We'll see . . .

I have all of my grandmothers and mother in laws and aunts hankies. Here is a picture of a quilt block. It is on my to do list to make a quilt out of them.

Thanks everyone. I know I love that pattern. Am currently working on a whole clothe but when I'm done with it I am starting this one.
