Quilted To A Tea

Pretty vintage hankies can evoke such lovely memories. Currently I am working on 4 (yes 4) beautiful hankie quilts for a very dear friend and her sisters-in-law. It is such an honor to be entrusted with these tokens of a loved one now gone and to be able to create a very special one of a kind rememberances. There are so many more projects I want to do with vintage hankies so I am scouring thrift shops and estate sales. E-bay has been another great source for hankies, I just have to control myself! What am I planning for these hankies? Well, more quilts of course, but also I want to try making tea cozies with them, adding them to a denim jacket, a pillow or two, and aprons. I am crazy about the renewed interest in aprons, both vintage style and more modern styles. Check back, I’ll post pictures. So, hold on to grandma’s hankies, they can be turned into beautiful accessories for you and your home.
