VINTAGE HANKIE CUSHION COVER ~ PT. 1 ~ Stabilizing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Vintage hankies or linens/tablecloths are just wonderful to use in memory quilts, pillows, cushions etc., So when you see a bunch of hankies at that local thrift/charity shop, snap them up!! Priceless!!
Join me for Truelove Family stories (which I have many, as a mother of 10 kids), Mothering Autism, with our Maxwell on our many fun car rides, and Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room, out and about and trying to make all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique and get an insight into a very large family and their crazy fun:)
And as always: Love From The Trueloves;)
Oh my… I actually have a collection of vintage hankies and now this is how I will use them! Thanks! 🎉🎉
I am keeping the family in my prayers. True CHIN UP Trueloves!!! xo
Aw thanks Terie:) Our poor boy and daughter in law need those prayers!
You are so fortunate that Ian doesn’t mind the master bedroom being so feminine. I remember you had one of your master bedrooms painted pink! Oh my! My husband would not enjoy such feminine and frilly (girly) colors and decorations. It’s nice you are free to decorate your shared bedroom with a feminine flare! Our bedroom is much more “gender neutral” which accommodates both of our tastes and preferences.
I am blessed! We have ALWAYS had a very very frilly, lacy pink flowery bedroom!! LOL! Someone asked my Ian if he minded and he answered "No, it's like waking up in a womb'!! LOL! He doesn't mind at all and I go over the top! Mind you, when it DOES come to the thousand pillows on the bed ~ He throws them down!!! LOL! LOL!
Jean, you have some beautiful hankies but the one you choose is bright and vibrant for the pillows.
Terrible of the pool at your son Florida home....he is right about one step at a time...
Thanks Terrie. The hankie I chose is very ME:) Of course:) And yes, its a disaster for our son. Poor guy
You are so fun to watch! Enjoy your video very much❤
Thanks:)
What a beautiful idea thank you thank you for sharing 👍😊
❤❤love the hankie quilts!!! So lovely. Prayers for your son and daughterinlaw in Florida xox🙏🏻
Thank you so much Maria:) We do appreciate that!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory ❤️❤️❤️❤️you’re welcome 🙏🏻
Lovely handkerchiefs.
I have my grandmothers handkerchiefs and haven't known what to do with them.
You have given me a lovely idea.
Thank you.
Love your videos.
Wonderful! Thank you very much Linda:)
What a great idea for your hankies! I remember my mom having some pretty hankies, but I don’t know what happened to them. I will definitely watch for them at yard sales and goodwill stores. The picture of your sons pool made me feel sick, so awful! This old system is just one disaster after another. So glad we have Jehovah to lean on through these trying times! How nice Rodger could come for a visit 🤟 ❤❤❤
Oh Sondra, the Florida mess is a disaster. Poor poor guy. So much to deal with. But with Jehovah's help for calm and wisdom, we get through it. Roger was originally planning on staying longer, but he has to go back to the UK Bethel at their request. He is used as a BSL signer on the branches videos and is needed. He is a great guest:)
Such lovely hankies. I have my mom's and thank you for this video! Never knew what I would do with them, but I enjoy looking at them. One was mine I used also......❤
Glad it was helpful Missi:)
Hi Jean! I would have a hard time picking just one of those hankies to make a pillow out of! They are all just so pretty! So glad you showed them all to us. I've always loved the butterfly-folded method.💗💗 So sorry to hear about your son's pool & flood issues, good grief!! What a mess.
Thanks Marla:) I'll have to show how I fold them into the butterflies! :) THanks for the concern about our son.....it is a total disaster. Oh well. Truelove Touch of Poop
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Yes, I would love to see how you fold them!!
What a cute idea. I do have some of my very own old hankies which i never had the heart to throw them away as, as you said they are little work of art in themselves. Now i know what to do with them. Thank you Jean.
You are so welcome Anna:) They ARE wonderful works of art ~ even could be framed beautifully:)
What a great idea have head scarves my mother wore before her passing of cancer .Going to make pillow for my brother and my children to have something that their granny wore .
Aw that would be very special:) Thanks Cheryl:)
Love all your hankies. I’m so thankful that you showed us how to stabilize them. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful Linda!
Thank you. I have some of my moms old hankies and this was my plan, to make pillows for my daughters. I appreciate your focus on the scalloped edges and the stabilization, as that’s exactly what I had questions about.
Glad to be of help Cynthia:) Enjoy your hankies:)
Those are gorgeous ❤️
Thank you! Cheers Carol:)
Very nice tutorial. I will try to do this with my grandmother's hankies.
Thanks Roxanna:) That would be special:)
As always, keeping all the Truelove's in my prayers. I will look up the hankies that I have, just a couple, and see about making a small wall hanging. I really enjoy all of your chatting. You are such a treasure to me. Sending my love to all the Truelove's🙏❤️🤗🌺🌷🌺
Thank you so much Donna;) You are very kind:)
Thelma writes: Jean, I have been busy of late but want to say, how is your son and family in Florida? I do hope they are doing well with clearing the aftermath from the flooding. Thinking of them everyday and the people who are in similar situation. Jean, the collection of your vintage hankies are beautiful. Goodness! they bring back memories, Jean. Look forward to see once you have turned them into a quilt. You are such an inspiration lady. I agree with you, all vintage items such as doilies etc at a thrift shop have gone up and up in price, they have become pricey items these days, yet we used to think they did not worth much! LOL !! Thank you for sharing your hankies videos. Hope all is well in the Trueloves' household ❤❤❤
Thanks Thelma. The Florida home flooding situation is a total disaster. Our son(s) went down to figure things out, but it will be a HUGE project with clean up and rebuilding. Such a shame for them. And for all the other people on the street!!
This looks great Jean so I guess I will be on a hankie lookout! So sorry about the situatioin in Florida terrible for everyone affected.
It's been a disaster to say the least , but our son will just get on with things, as usual. Life is hard. Thanks so much
You can use white vinegar diluted with water and iron out the fold lines. My Mama taught me this years ago. Happy sewing!
Thank you Nancy:) Tips always welcome:)
Love all the hankies. A few years ago I started collecting hankies which in the UK you don’t see very often.
The vintage ones are getting harder to find here also:) Thanks Sue:)
❤❤❤
Thank you! I have loads of hankies and you've given me the knowledge I need to get a quilt made with them! Super excited!!!
You are so welcome Shell:) Get out those hankies and sew away:)
Your vintage hankies were so lovely ❤🌹
Thank you Teresa! 😊
So sorry about the flooding in Florida. I am praying for the families affected including the Trueloves. Lovely handkerchiefs! Reminds me of my grandmother.
Thanks Gloria. Yes, the disaster is just that....a unmitigated disaster. Shame. Just terrible.
Looking forward to seeing the next steps with this pillow? Already very lovely!
Thank you so much Donna! 😊
Oh Jean this is so beautiful. Now I must make a hankie quilt. Can't wait to watch how you finish this. Thank you.
You can do it! Part two of my cushion cover coming soon:) Thanks Rachel for taking time to watch me:)
Hi Jean, I have several of my grandmothers hankies and I am 60 so you know they are very old. 😂 I believe mine are all silk so they are very delicate. Thanks for sharing on what to do with these. I actually thought I night make a summer jacket, but again I was concerned that because they are silk I would be worried to wear it. Lots to consider I guess. I will just watch your tutorial now and maybe I will know what to do. I am just now starting to watch. I am 11 min in to the tutorial.
Thanks for sharing!! Silk ones could be very delicate and fragile...perhaps just framing them in a beautiful shadow box display could be an idea also:) Thanks Jenny:)
I buy vintage handkerchiefs but, I use them for my nose. 😊
Wha?!?! You use them for how they are ORIGINNALY intended for?!?! LOL! LOL! THanks Margie:)
The pink hankie quilt is my absolute favorite. Your talent continues to be amazing! Thank you Jean and prayers for your son in Florida 💕
Thanks Cathy, our son and daughter in law need it!!
Jean your cushion is going to be so beautiful, looking forward to seeing the finish results. Beautiful, thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊
Thanks so much Carmen:)😊
Hi Jean. I am so sorry to see the deverstation from the recent flooding in Florida to yours sons property and swimming pool. I do hope it gets sorted out by the insurance company. Sending you Greetings from London.
I also have a collection of old hankies but mine are mostly lace or hand embroidered and different sizes. But I think I could mount them on a white background fabric. I shall have to have a think to see what's best to do. Your hanky quilt is going to be awsome.
Thanks Anita. The insurance is NOT covering the damage to the pool. It is really a disaster area. They are a bit better off than most on their street, but insurance in Florida is a tough call. Oh well. Chin up for the Trueloves and we'll just get on with things!
I remember the Vintage Hankie quilt of your mothers. So beautiful. Glad you're showing us how you did it. Going to drop off some donation at the Goodwill shop and think I 'll check to see if they've some hankies.May be I can get enough to make a small lap quilt. Prayers to you son and all of you.
Wonderful Jacquie:) The true vintage floral ones with the lovely patterns are getting harder and harder to come by:)
I believe these types of hankies were actually used for that purpose. Instead of using disposable tissues or Kleenex, people used hankies for their nose (kept them in their purse or pocket and then washed them everyday). It’s a different world now.
My mom and grandmom ALWAYS carried a hankie with them:)
Dear Jean, thank you for sharing your idea for a cushion out of an old handkerchief, it’s really beautiful. I feel for your son and his pool disaster, I hope his insurance covers loss of income as well as flood damage. Love to all the Trueloves.🏴
Thank you Margaret. Several of our boys went down to help him out ~ but it truly is a disaster. Such a shame. One step at a time:/
Hi sister! I’ve been collecting hankies for years from all over the country and Hawaii. I have over 120. They are so beautiful 😍.
That is awesome Yvette:) Tiny works of art:)
The pool! 😮 l love your hankie quilt. Very inspiring ❤ are they quite colourfast?
Yes they are! If you think about it, these hankies are decades old and have been washed and ironed perhaps hundreds of times! Thank you Teddy:)
So lovely! I can’t wait to see the final results!
Thank you! Cheers Kathleen:)
Absolutely love what you do… I have my collection of hankies which I have wanted to use.. you have inspired me…AGAIN!!! ❤️ May I ask where you got your ironing station… a perfect size!! 🙋🏼♀️ thanks again
I got it from Amazon, but sadly they are out of stock: us.amazon.com/HomeRoots-Paulownia-Fabric-Portable-Ironing/dp/B07KCKHHZJ Thanks for taking time to watch me Carole:)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsforyI wouldn't miss a minute...I, like you, are a bit of a troubleshooter so I get how you think. 🤣...keep up the good work!
Sorry about that black cloud following your son. Sending prayers
Thank you Pat:) We appreciate that;)
I purchased a Juki (2010Q), I so love it! How did you place your design on it? I love butterflies and that would be so cool! Thank you and prayers to your son and family..
They are rub on decals from: www.urbanelementz.com/tattoo-elementz.html
Hi Jean,
Lovely video and your works are beautiful! Wondering if you include the SILK beauties? Or might they shatter over time (like we have seen in antique crazy quilts)? Will fusible stabilizer prevent that from happening? Thank you! Nancy in So Calif.
Thank you Nancy:) I HAVE made quilts and pillows with silk hankies, having used light weight interfacing and quilting stitches to stabilize them, however, the things I have made are NOT for everyday use. More decorative as, yes, the vintage silk tends to be VERY fragile and prone to disintegrating or shredding with handling. But with more decorative items - that is the way to go:)
Thank you Jean! I'll be following along to see your beautiful creations.
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory
Oh no. Bless his heart. That’s terrible.
It IS a disaster Flo, but never mind. This too shall get sorted!!
I love your ironing board. May I ask where you purchased it?
I got mine on Amazon, but I see that they are unavailable at this time ~ but I believe that Overstock and Wayfair have them also. Mine was about $160 if I remember correctly. Its small but very useful next to my machine..

I have some lace doilies I wanted to do I guess I can try the same method, any ideas?
I HAVE made a quilt using lace doilies, you just have to be careful when you stitch them onto the background blocks(no interfacing necessary). I used a very wide zig zag and went very slowly around each doily edge after Elmers Glue sticking it down around the edges. I used some vintage doilies and also some new ones that I didn't feel bad about cutting in half or quarters....that way the blocks were more interesting.
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory do you have pictures of the doily quilt Jean? I’d love to see it.
Hmmmmm I do, but I have to figure out how to show it. Maybe in the next video I will talk about it;)
Thanks Jean❤
I used my Italian Grandmother's hand crocheted doilies on a memory quilt that I made. I hand stitched it down. It was quite a job but turned out phenomenal.
Can you share the link to the interfacing or the no?

Sorry about all of your son’s problems with his Airbnb property in Florida. Did you hear about the horrific school shooting at that Christian school in Tennessee?? So terrible! Innocent Christians were targeted and killed because of their religion! There are evil people in this world that hate Christians! Very scary!🙏🏻
So many evil people!! Killing, shooting, knifing, abusing...just Satanic. It's no wonder that the Bible says God will step in soon ~ or man would destroy himself!
