Update: I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Would you mind choosing just one hanky for now so that more people can have an opportunity to try tatting hanky edgings? Thanks!
Here's the scoop, tatting friends... I've gone a tad crazy bidding on vintage hankies on eBay, and I've gotten some tremendous deals. However, there's no way I'll have time to tat edgings for all of these hankies!
Would you like to take part in a little hanky madness? Choose one of the hankies below, post your choice in the comments so that everyone will know which ones are taken (I'll try to keep up with marking off the ones that are spoken for), send me your mailing address, and I'll get one of these little beauties out to you ASAP! There are absolutely no strings attached. Believe me, I've kept plenty that I'm not quite ready to give up, and I still have far too many on hand!
I'm not good at coming up with names, but I'll try to name the hankies in groups that will help both of us out. First come, first serve. Please note that some of these hankies already have some machine-made lace attached to them, so you might have to do a little snipping.
I hope you'll post pictures of what you do! Happy tatting!
Group B: All gone!
Group D: All gone!
Group E: All gone!
Let the hanky madness begin!
Diane - what a generous thing for you to do! Why do hankies seem so enticing lately? I love Group F and am picturing the threads to match in my mind :)

Diane,
ReplyDeleteI'd love the set in Group H (Yellow and White Flowers, Red Rose, Pink Flowers) if they are not yet taken.
I have not tatted edgings for hankies before and hope this will be motivation for me to start on one. Thank you for your generosity.
I'd love to put an edging on the Blue Embroidery one in Group C. Thanks so much for this generous offer.
ReplyDeletewow, diane, there are so many gorgeous hankies! the ones in Group J call out to me. i'll be happry for the surprise!
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous!!! The blue flowers in group G look pretty to me. It will take me a while to finish an edging, but I would love to try.
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Get Well hanky in Group G - sadly it's going to be too late to tat an edging and send it to an old schoolfriend of mine - but will be in her memory perhaps, for someone else.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! I would love to participate, if you have some left! My favorite two are either Group C: Blue roses or Group E: Purple flowers. I can't decide which one I like better, so whichever is free! ^^
ReplyDeleteThis is so kind and generous of you! If it is still ava. I would love to tat an edging for Group I-Blue Flowers. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Diane,
ReplyDeleteI would be happy with the red "K" hankie!
This is most generous of you. Thanks!
Fox : )
Diane, What a challenge and so generous of you. I would love either one if it is has not been spoken for - Grp E yellow flowers or Grp F Yellow Hanky.
ReplyDeleteDo you collect handkerchiefs? I would love to send you one back. What is your favourite colour hanky?
Hi Diane,
ReplyDeleteYou are so nice to share your hankies. If you still have the Red roses one from Group K available I would like it.
I've been wanting to try hanky edgings I would love Group B: Bright Green Hanky... I have a thread that I think would be perfect for this...
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I like Group J's red and pink flower one, but would be happy with any of the yellow flower ones if that one's gone. This is exciting!
ReplyDeleteactually can I change my mind an get the pink and purple one from group A??? thanks sorry for my waffling
ReplyDeleteoooooo- Pink M for Michelle!!! : )
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!!
I'd love the Brown from Group A!
ReplyDeleteHow fun...I am loving Hankie edgings, actually edgings in general right now! I'd love to tat one for the pink roses in group C if not taken :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are very generous! I have not tried tatting a hanky edging yet- this may be the beginning of many more projects! You have great taste and luck in your ebay finds, it is hard to pick a favourite...if the yellow and white flowered one from Group K is still available, that would be my pick. If it is not, surprise me! (And since I have not tatted a hanky edging before, I may be asking for tips!)
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance. I personally love the group j, lavender and blue flowers. If its still available let me know :)
ReplyDeleteAren't they lovely? You really must have gone hanky mad! Really would not have time tat an edge so will not choose but thanks for coming over to my give-away.
ReplyDeleteOops - sorry to misunderstand and be piggish :/
ReplyDeleteIf the blue flowers in Group F is still available, I would love that one!
~Cindy
May I have the pink flower in Group I? I'm working on an edging pattern that may work up into a lesson (that's the goal, anyway), and I believe I have some colors that would be perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteI'd be glad to send postage money as well as pay for the hanky, if you'll tell me how much!
Oh this is so cool! I had been looking for some old hankies to try tatting on. I would love either the yellow in group f or the pink in group k (whichever is left). Anything I can send you in return?
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow flowers in group E.
ReplyDeleteELizabeth
You are very generous with your giveaways. I've never done a tatted edging before, I'm been scouring all of my local thrift stores for old hankies in good condition, to no avail. I would be interested in group B's Yellow Flowers, if its not taken otherwise group F's Pink Flowers. Once again thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIf it hasn't already been claimed, I would like to try adding an edging to the yellow and white flowered handky (are they tulips?) from GROUP E.
ReplyDeleteDiane, what a generous thing to do! No doubt the hankies will fly out the door. Happy tatting!
ReplyDeleteThe group B Pink flowers - I can take the machine made lace off and make my own corner motifs.
ReplyDeleteI have some things to send YOU.
Diane, you are so generous to share these lovely hankies. If you still have the blue flowers in group F available I would love them. If not these are my other choices.. group H rose or group G yellow flowers or group F pink flowers. Which ever one is available is fine with me. Thanks so much for this lovely offer!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try mu hand on the one called Scorpio. This is such a generous offer!!
ReplyDelete(I'm at beadymom at gmail dot com for any follow-up)
If the Group H red rose is not taken, I'd love to have it. It reminds me of my mom. Otherwise, I think they're all great and would love to have a lonely little left over because I keep thinking I really want to try a hanky edging!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane: If I am not too late I would love to receive the Pink Flowers in Group K. This is so generous and kind of you to offer so many of your findings to others. Happy weekend my dear...
ReplyDeleteDiane, you are so generous! I fully intended passing on this one, but the Daisies in group D are still there and they would look so good with a certain yellow and white variegate I have yet to try... I have no idea if I'll make the time to do this in this lifetime, but you make it look like such a great opportunity! You have my address.
ReplyDeleteDiane, so sweet of you to do this! I haven't tried hankies yet but I'm willing to give it a go. I'm interested in set G, the yellow flower if it's still available. Thanks, Linda
ReplyDeleteDiane, if you have the yellow one from group F, I would be honored to give it a wonderful home :) if not that is alright :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a generous offering :)

Better a cow’s tail than no tail at all!
ReplyDeleteI love doing hankies. Please choose one and send it my way. I’ll be glad to pay postage. It’s nice of you to share. I really like the “Mother” hankie; but, it’s probably spoken for. Just pick an old fashioned one...and I’ll be a happy clam.

son unos pañuelos maravillosos.Besos
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, I always seem to be slow off the mark!! You are so generous - are your hankies all gone now? If the brown and blue one in the first photo (right-hand side of Group A) is still available, I'd love to make an edging for it. No worries if I'm too late, I'll enjoy seeing what other people come up with.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your great offer!
DIane, I'll do up the pink flowers one from group F if it isn't already taken
ReplyDeleteBlondEngineer, the hanky is yours! Please send me your mailing info and I'll get it off to you ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Diane. My 'new' hanky arrived in today's mail and it is even more lovely than the picture. I think I'll try to design my own edging. I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Just an update -- the hanky you sent me arrived today! It's absolutely beautiful! Now to decide which thread and pattern to use..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! ^^
is the yellow from group I yellow mother still available?
