I could never part with them and not worth selling, but I now use them as backings on quilts...I make small pieces and the tablecloths, towels and even hankies pieced together serve me well, preserving a little bit of family history and paying homage to those I love.

And my first idea was to bundle them in matching groups. I guess it will be successful to offer them in Etsy. This is less complicated than to sell them in ebay. <br />Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-55686265688466513692013-07-03T09:59:24.410-04:002013-07-03T09:59:24.410-04:00All this is too much cleaning/sorting and not enou...All this is too much cleaning/sorting and not enough creative work, but it has to be done. I have put out a plea for old hankies for our 2014 Tea and Table Settings (it will be our 2nd annual)event for our little Homesteader Museum in Powell WY. I want to make little 'tussie mussies' with a hankie in each as table favors. The theme this year is "Hats, Heels and Handbags" and our little boutique will be "The Accessories Dept". If you or any readers want to donate hankies or lace/ribbon bits and pieces I will pay postage. I can be contacted at marybeth@wir.net. BTW hankies take dye really well and are fun to reuse in quilts/wallhangings. Keep having fun with the memories!!Marybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405151747751254157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-76059316443404770662013-07-03T09:09:22.773-04:002013-07-03T09:09:22.773-04:00Oh what a luxurious posting.

Please take a couple of those hankies and a friend to see Unfinished Song with Redford (formerly A Song for Marion in UK but now in US under title of Unfinished Song). Joe and I laughed and laughed to tears...what a show and two hankies might not be enough. Get a lot of friends to go!

But I think there are still people out there who collect such things. I'm with you, though... wouldn't want to bother with trying to sell on-line. Some day, mine will probably go to a collectible store, along with a collection of costume jewelry I will never use, and some antique items I have had for ages that could use a new home! Best of luck finding appropriate homes for all of these items... it's really hard!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-30607689851714673372013-07-03T08:19:37.641-04:002013-07-03T08:19:37.641-04:00Rayna

It's a hard job - good luck. We are looking forward to seeing you at our guild in St. Louis in September.

I too have many vintage linens that I keep promising myself I will make into a big memory quilt one day, soon, pretty lace edged hankies that may go into the same quilt and old t-towels. Add to that suitcases of old photos and equally touching letters from my grandad who I never knew to my nan and from my stepdad to my mum. I have sorted some and some wait after 2 years to be looked through properly. A lot has gone to thrift shops and some to friends to be recycled into their artwork. Some will go into my own artwork. I have felt overwhelmed by the task and the decisions and frustrated that I couldn't keep more. I don't have any answers for you just empathy. <br /><br />On a lighter note I am on the point of completing my first free-form quilt based on your book and have had a great time putting it all together and shuffling it round my design board. It is going into Festival of Quilts here in the UK this summer and I'm looking forward to seeing it hanging there. Thank you for your great books and the inspiration. I can't wait to play some more :) Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-69185755382262076632013-07-03T01:48:17.433-04:002013-07-03T01:48:17.433-04:00Hello Rayna, I love your blog and love your work. ...Hello Rayna, I love your blog and love your work. That vintage textile thing eh? In the UK vintage is huge. People are cutting up old table clothes left right and centre. I buy them and hoard them so they can't be chopped up. I'm sure you'll think of something to do with them. Those tea towels are kind of funky. A beach towel perhaps?? Have a good day.Julie Shackletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052910203397877595noreply@blogger.com
