I found these two hankies in the local opshop for 30 cents each - what a great find! I hadn't washed and pressed them when this pic was taken. I'd love to have any suggestions from readers as to how I could use them in something.
Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Pot holder, printed handkies.
One of my American-born friends (married to an Aussie) showed me this pot-holder the other day. Her grandmother drew the pattern and taught Glenda and her sister how to embroider it, when they were little girls. I thought it was so cute, and asked Glenda if I could borrow it to make a copy, and she was happy to do so.

Gina - I love the potholder - she is soooo cute!.
ReplyDeleteWith the hankies why don't you use them as the centre of a crazy block and surround them with japanese material and then embellish them. They would make beautiful cushions.
