A handkerchief exchange does sound lovely! As far as my sewing skills, they are quite basic I am afraid. I tend to do the quick projects that only take a few hours.

I stumbled across a couple of good deals for handkerchiefs on eBay so that might be an option for women who aren't desiring to make their own. I also think it would be fun to do a handkerchief mail exchange. Maybe one day I'll stumble across one of those. Do you quilt or sew?

I was just thinking the other day that my one "truly useless/useful" gift is being able to do needlework. But then, maybe it's a blessing that I can pass on to my granddaughters some day. (I have all boys.) <br /><br />My hankie story though is about my grandma--she always had a hankie tucked under her watch on her wrist, which irritated my mother for some reason I never understood. She died when I was 8 or so, and when I moved out and married, my mother sent me all her handkerchiefs that she had tucked away. I tucked them away too for a while, and then one day a couple of years ago, I pulled them out and realized that my MaMa was still with me...and they've been a tangible bit of her that I treasure every time I pull one out. It's a totally random little story but this post reminded me of her too.mishbloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293978676268050657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-60176704069629043632015-05-14T05:09:02.341-05:002015-05-14T05:09:02.341-05:00Very true!

We learned to embroider as kids, and it has been years since I have done it. There is something so satisfying about crafting with a needle in your hands, I can't really explain it. I have many pillows that I embroidered, and also ones from my mothers and aunts as well. What a beautiful post all the way around :) Blessings to you and your family today JES!
