This week at the Apple Country Guild meeting, one of our members gave a presentation on using old hankies in guild making. She brought a bunch of old hankies for us to use to practice various folding techniques. We learned various ways to fold for angel wings and my favorite which is shown above. I think these would make cute little wall hangings. I didn't get a picture of it, but she showed us how to fold the hanky to make a pocket. Other than the pocket and the skirt, I don't think I would use the other ideas although, it is a good way to reuse!
Another member brought in her experiment with origami using a hanky.
One member brought in several of her quilt tops to show. This one was a simple pattern but very colorful.
A Sunbonnet Sue with a fan skirt.
This was done on a large gingham fabric with embroidery/cross stitch like stitches.
The members want a guild program on this technique.
Another member brought in this LARGE top made with yo-yos.
These all had a different fabric peeking thru the center.
