Does anyone have a website where we can get ideas for sewing projects, using antique handkerchiefs. We are a group of ten ladies that make quilts and other hand sewn articles to sell as a fund raiser for a botanical garden in
so. California.

What a cute idea! This would also look good for a tablescape centerpiece! I just came across a couple of valentine hankies in a thrift store. I’ll have to keep this in mind for using them on Valentines Day.

What a clever and pretty display! You have such a lovely collection of unusual and pretty handkerchiefs. The Happy Birthday one is striking.

That is so pretty and a great idea! I have a few hankies that were my grandmothers and never know what to do with them. They just sit in a drawer. Thank you for the great idea!

What a great display idea. I’m always wondering how to show off my collection of old hankies. Thank you!

I’d never have thought of using handkerchiefs like this…what a clever imagination you have.

It’s a shame hankies are becoming a bit of a rarity these days. I used to have a tonne when I was younger, but it seems that these days most people always use tissues.

Thanks for sharing.
