I've been collecting vintage hankies for quite a few years now and I love to use them on my crazy quilt projects. My favorite hankies are the ones with machine embroidery flowers on them. They're quite easy to find for a dollar or 2 at flea markets and antique shops.

I spent all day yesterday sewing. I put a good couple of miles on my sewing machine, piecing loads of new blocks. I wish I could sew some more new blocks today but I have other things that need to be done. I do plan on having a few hours of stitching time later today.
