These linens were given to me this weekend by my husband's aunt. They were made by her grandmother, my husband's great grandmother who was known as granny. I have numerous photos so will post them here I also need some advice which I will ask with the photos that I need the answers for. These photos are of all the intact pieces she made.
If anyone has suggestions on how to care for them or remove stains please let me know
The blue one is long and narrow. The others are large. One of the pink ones needs to be fixed in a very small spot along the edge of the case.
Dresser scarves. One has some stains so I will have to find someone knowledgeable on how to remove without damaging the material.

All the rest of these are intact but need washing.

In this photo there is what looks like a doll hat but it is very dirty.

The apron in the above photo was worn by her on special occasions I'm sure. She was a very thin woman.
In this photo there are collars she made and at the bottom a vest that I know she wore as I have seen it on her in photos

You can see the many stains on this one. Hoping to get help in restoring it.

I think this last one might be something like those toilet paper covers. Not sure

Denise, what a beautiful group of heirloom linens you received from your husband's aunt. To think how long it took to make them is mind boggling to me.

Beautiful linens, Denise. There are several different vintage linen cleaners on the market. I think I may have one; I will see what it is called. They have been talking about these on one of the FB Quilting sites.
