PattyJo Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 This is a hanky quilt made for a friend. These were her mom's hankys and she passed away 3 yrs ago and I finally got it put together at Barb Mayfield's LA retreat and just finished quilting it tonight....The lighting isn't very good, but here are a few pics anyway. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachside Quilter Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Fabulous, Patty Jo! I love the way you incorporated the hankies. I have many from my grandmother and hope someday to be able to put them in a quilt. Great idea, and your quilting is gorgeous (as always!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thank you everyone for the kind words. This was a joy to work on. Even after 3 years, I could still smell Eunice's cologne on them. She was a wonderful lady who loved everyone she came into contact with. And I know that I'll see her again when the Lord calls me home. Carol, I used spray baste (cause you can reposition a bit) and then layed them onto a piece of muslin to stabilize. After all were in the right place, I stitched with my DM around each part of a hanky then added the borders, then quilted. Very easy. I saw this on "Simply Quilts" a number of years ago, and thought of that show when my friend had all her mom's hankies after she passed. I'm working on the binding over this next weekend and my friend will get it next week. I'm excited to see if she likes it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
