As I read the comments, I realize how fortunate I am. I have not only my grandmother’s hankies, but her button box, as well. My daughter is 38 and my granddaughter is eight. I have enough hankies to make two of these. Maybe I can do it by Christmas.
This is beautiful! I have a ton of old hankerchief's my mom gave to me as a child. She said her brother gave them to her when she was a child and I could only have them if I took care of them. I have had them for years now. I'm almost 60 years old. I was trying to figure out something to do with them because they are a memory of her for me and my sister. Now I can make your wall hanging out of them and share one with my sister. Thank you so much for presenting your dress wall hanging on line. It solved my problem and will give me something to pass on to my daughter when I die as a memory of our family...
Oh Carolyn, thank you so much for your kind words. I too have memories associated with my handkerchiefs. My grandmother used to put our lunch money in a hankie and tie it up for our school lunches every day. I don't know if she thought we would not lose it that way or why she did it, but it is a fond memory for me. I would love to see photos of your finished hankie quilt. Thanks again for the feedback.
Thank you for tutorial. I've been saving my great grandmother's, grandmother's and my mother's hankies to make a special "Family" quilt. Been waiting for a "special " pattern and this is one! Thanks so much
That’s would be nice. I’ve even thought of making a nice block hanging with embroidery of my mom’s name so that I could give a little something to more people. My mom when she was alive gave me some other hankies and they were so delicate it was best to hand wash because I put one in the washer on delicate and it came out with all kinds of loose threads and embroidery and it was so disappointing.
@@marcellarodriguez7955 I apologize for just now coming across your comment. Yes, lots of the hankies are very delicate, that is why they need stabilizing. I did a butterfly for a friend of mine when her mother in law passed and put her mother in laws name on it and framed it. It came out really pretty.
Thank you for this video! I have several monogram whitework handkerchiefs that I was wondering what to do with and you have given me great ideas. Appreciate it!
You are so welcome. I am looking for a few more ways to fold them for quilts and I do not want to cut mine up either. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Have fun with your hankies and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!! I saw a great quilt pattern in a magazine like this but didn't tell you how to make the sweet little dresses to put into the quilt blocks. This is wonderful! I now would love to make a quilt top with these very cute dresses on it. Again, thank you for sharing this! ♥️🌞♥️
Reply you are so welcome and thank you for commenting and watching the video. I am sure these can be folded from fabric also, but I am addicted to collecting hankies. They hold sweet memories for me.
@@BrendasQuiltRoom If you used a 11 1/2 inch block, approximately what size hanky did you use? Do you use the same size hanky as the block, or do you use a hanky that is slightly smaller than the size of the block?
@@GeminiDolly52951 I pulled some hankies out of my box and measured a few. They are different sizes from 11 inches to 14 inches. I did try to use the smaller ones since I was limited to the 11.5 inch background block. Most of the hankies I used in the quilt were all the same size. They were given to me by my sister years ago as a gift and I think they were a set. As you practice, you can manipulate the folds (bigger) on the larger hankies to make the dress come out smaller. If that makes sense? I did that on a few of the hankies because I specifically wanted that hankie in the quilt. I hope that answers your question.
Oh my goodness! #BrendasQuiltRoom I have my Mom's handkerchiefs and with your instructions I'll be able to make a quilt out of them. Thank you so very much. Thank You :D John 3:17
Thank you so much for such a well presented video. I have many of my Grandmother’s Hankies. Now, thanks to you , I have a plan. Your directions are so clear. Your quilt is a labour of love,. Very impressive. Colleen
Thank you! I love the hankies, so many memories. I am so happy you have a plan for your project now. It makes me very happy to know I am helping other crafters.
I am not sure. We made the video, my husband and I because we could not find anything on the internet to show people how to do it. I am glad you found it and enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I have been looking for instructions on how to make a hankie quilt for a long time. Your tutorial is so great! I am going to straighten out my sewing room this week. Thank you so much! It is just precious!
Bonnie, you are so welcome. Thank you for the comment and feedback. I am sure your hankie project will turn out wonderful. Post a picture when finished!
Thank you so much! These would be great on pillows as well, or on little girls dresses( maybe pillowcase dresses with an hankie dress added). So many possibilities.
I have a fair size collection of hankies. I thought I'd do a butterfly quilt with them. I think I'll have enough left to do a wall quilt with them as dresses. Thank you so much for sharing how you did this!
I have one that is on a cardboard paper doll. I'm going to do this as a nursing home project. To entertain the ladies. I will let them color their doll faces with colored pencils.
That's wonderful! I would love to see them. Is there a link I am not seeing? I don't see the pictures. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and was inspired to use your hankies.
Thanks so very much for this video!! I have so many handkerchiefs of my grandmother, grandma, and mom’s and can’t wait to make one of these quilts!!! I also had a thought of taking my many bandannas and making another one!! I have several of them in many colors. What do you think?? Again, thanks so very much for making us this video!!! Judy from Amarillo Texas!! 🤠
Hi Judy, thank you for the comment. I think a bandana quilt folded like butterflies would be just awesome. I did a video on that also. They were not bandanas though, those were also hankies. I am so addicted to collecting them. They have sweet childhood memories for me. Post a picture of yours, I would love to see it. Thanks again.
Yes you absolutely can. I used both real vintage and also reproductions in my dress project. I used only vintage ones in the butterfly video. Several in the butterfly video belonged to my husband's grandmothers and great grandmother. That quilt now lives with our daughter. Thank you for watching and for giving me feedback!
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much I have some Vintage handkerchief and don’t know how to fold them. I’m new to your channel God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I love this! I will be on the lookout for hankies. I have none but I really want to make this. How sweet! When you hand stitch them down what kind of stitch did you use?
Hi Doralee, first, thank you for watching and giving me feedback. The stitch that I used on each hankie is a very small blanket stitch with matching embroidery thread to the hankie. I sat and stitched these down in the evenings when we were watching television. I probably only used about 2 strands of thread. I hope your hunt goes well. Thank you!
I'm going to order lots of hankies to save money and because of the virus, to carry around instead of tissues. I'd love to make one square with a hankie for decorating my room, maybe make four for each wall of my room. They'd look great in a girl's bedroom or anywhere in the home.
This is awesome tutorial. Did you quilt the block before adding the Hankie? Did you Machine sew any or just used the stich which to attach all. Did you sew any of the folds to hold in place? I did a Quilt with vintage hankies and it turn out beautiful. I have so many hankies I was looking for ideas and came across this. I am trying this.
Carol, I did not quilt prior to adding the hankies to the block. I used stitch witch to keep them in place. I then sewed by hand all the way around the hankie on the block. I actually used some tacky glue to keep the folds in place in the dress. I then hand quilted the entire quilt. I used a friction pen to mark my lines. It is hanging in the living room now and I just love it. I also have many more hankies to use up and I think I would love to make this one again. Thank you for watching the video and for the compliment. I did machine sew the blocks together.
@@BrendasQuiltRoom Thanks for reply. So far I have done three and for the first try they have come out awesome. Not sure what I will do with them as I do not have patience or time to hand sew. Looking forward to the way you did the prairie points for your quilt.
@@caroldunk.3481 I will certainly try to get this done by the end of the month but no promises as we will be taking a much needed vacation soon. I did previously stitch my hankie butterflies on the machine with a blanket stitch so you might want to practice on one dress and see how it works out for you.
@@caroldunk.3481 you could try adding thin iron on double sided interfacing on a warm setting since it’s delicate if it’s going to be a wall hanging or in a frame. I’m planning on trying that because I don’t want to hand stitch
I have few hankies that have a big bouquet of flowers on one corner only and small flowers in the other 3 corners. Do you have any video using that kind of hankie for a dress or something else ? Your video is very good and inspirational, thank you for sharing your talent !
Hi Gigi, I do have another video that uses a hankie and you fold it into the shape of a butterfly. I think this would work great for that particular hankie. Fold it in half diagonally so your large bouquet will show as the top of the butterfly body. ua-cam.com/video/1TVJUlA2gtQ/v-deo.html
first thank you for watching my video and commenting. Can I ask you what type of hanger would it be? Made from Paper or another type like a doll clothes hanger?
Dorothy, thank you for your feedback to the video. I have been collecting hankies for many years. I have found them in antique stores mostly. At least 8 of the hankies used in the video were reproductions that were sent to me from my sister years ago. I just always try to be on the lookout at yard sales and flea markets. It is sort of a game whenever I am in a new place trying to find the little gems that are hiding in the dealers booths.
Hi Brenda my mother loves you Hanky Dress Quilt it is absolutely adorable. Can you please tell me where I can find how to fold the other different styles of dresses. I looked here on UA-cam but didn't see any other videos unless I just overlooked them. Thank you for your help...
Hi Michele, I want to be sure I am clear on your question. Are you referring to the dresses in my quilt? They are all folded the same way just some are more flared than others which may make them look slightly different. I have looked on the internet for different styles and the only other thing that I see with hankies, is that the hankie is folded into a skirt and someone has added a fabric made top to it. I have made a quilt with hankies into butterflies. That is another video on my channel. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate your feedback.
Yes I was and thank you for getting back to me . The quilt is just adorable 😍. As I was closer to the video I would stop it and I could see that the hankys were different of course and I thought maybe they maybe folded the say way but I just wanted to make sure. Thank you again your help love you work!!
@@michelebaker5018 You are more than welcome. Some hankies were different sizes, so some of the folds had to be bigger or smaller to fit the block I was mounting them to.
Look at origami dresses. My most beautiful hankies I make a dress and put I n frame. Nice heirloom gifts. Often take colored paper clips and make coordinating miniature coat hangers. I experiment.
Most of the hankies in this quilt are "reproductions" of old antique hankies. A few of them were actual antiques. I try to put hankies of similar size together so the dresses come out to be closely the same size. If your hankies are really thin, it will help to put interfacing behind them. This is not a quilt to be used or washed, it is for decoration purposes only. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for your comment and feedback. I do not have any other styles of folds for the hankies right now. If you look closely at the hankies in the video. Some have shorter torso areas than others. This is because some hankies are bigger and therefore longer than others. In order to get the dress folded down to the size I needed for the background square. I am going to do some research and see if I can find other "styles" to possibly do a video.
As I read the comments, I realize how fortunate I am. I have not only my grandmother’s hankies, but her button box, as well. My daughter is 38 and my granddaughter is eight. I have enough hankies to make two of these. Maybe I can do it by Christmas.

This is because some hankies are bigger and therefore longer than others. In order to get the dress folded down to the size I needed for the background square. I am going to do some research and see if I can find other "styles" to possibly do a video.
Look at oragmi paperbfolded dresses.
